| History | C. miniata is native to South Africa. The first plants were sent to England in 1820 where Kew Gardens botanist John Lindley began cultivating them. He named them in honor of Lady Clive, Duchess of Northumberland, who cultivated many of Mr. Lindley's plants in her conservatory. Over the years, many hybrids of C. miniata were developed throughout England, Belgium and Germany. The Belgian Hybrid Yellow is coveted for its large blooms and unusual color. |
