It's not so very far from that one to a Dionysia Giles. Better be careful. :)

I love all those little whites.

According to all the pundits P. allionii will not grow well outside, This P.a. Beatrice Wooster has been outside for at least 4 years with no attention even over the last few dreadful winters. Not as good as when grown under cover perhaps, but not too bad I think.
