Anecdotal Notes
Diana
-- 35 cultivars all seedlings from Paula Vivien Pugh Schipp. Paula Pugh Schipp was a real ground breaker in the Frangi world in WA (Carnarvon). She actually "bred" a lot of new varieties which have been listed on the world register with the prefix of "Coral Coast". So if you see "CC" on the front of a variety for example CC PPR (Coral Coast Paula's Patience Rewarded) or CC Hello Yellow they are registered names. Since she passed away, her husband Colin has sold some of her seedlings. Unfortunately some of them are not labelled and that's why we refer to it as "Paula's Puzzle" to those of us who have those seedlings and don't know what they are.
