'Elizabeth Killelay' is a recently discovered variety with many deep brick-red petals edged in golden yellow and white. It was discovered in the English garden of Ms. Hazel Bolton and she named it after her young grand daughter, Miss Elizabeth Killelay, who, as reported, is “thrilled silly” because no one else at her school has a world-wide grown plant named after them. (From FlowerScent Gardens )
