Narrative
An apparent sport of 'Winter's Charm' that was tracked as one of several (four) plants of NA 65010 prior to being assigned individual inventory qualifiers in 2007. It was not noticed until 2023 that the smallest plant bears white flowers instead of the typical pink of 'Winter's Charm', but the flower size, form, and the plant's growth habit (spreading and somewhat weeping) and foliage (large, dark green, and glossy) otherwise resemble 'Winter's Charm'. Although the flowers are similar overall to several white-flowered cultivars originated by Ackerman, the plant is very different in appearance. The whole plant seems to be white-flowered, so if these assumptions are correct, then presumably a sport was propagated by grafting without realizing that any differences existed.
