This is a hybrid produced by Michael Kartuz, but little information is available on its parentage. The cup shape of the calyx and the black stripes on the flower suggest that A. tricolor is involved. It seems to have been introduced in the late 1970s, but is still available and in cultivation. Additional photos may be seen in a slideshow by clicking one of the links below:
