    Not a true semi-alba, 'La Pedrena' passes on the light striations in the petals. I do have another semi-alba which hopefully will be a true one if it ever gets to blooming size. The flowers and plant are a bit smaller then my type form, but this one blooms off more than one lead at a time. This is a second blooming and I doubt I'll be keeping this one; I don't usually like striata types.
