WALZ Blauwkous 
WALZ Harp 
Truly lovely, profuse flowering and rich opening colours that soften as they mature. A strong, vigorous plant that makes a very good basket display. Regarding the capitalisation of the prefix, the hybridiser, Henk Waldenmaier states:
“Until 2001, all my cultivars bore the name prefix WALZ. WALZ is an acronym composed of the first letters of the surnames of the grandparents of my children. It must therefore use all capital letters and be written together.”
Tube: White with pink candy stripes, slim, tapering.
Sepals: Pale rose pink through white to green.
Corolla: Rich magenta shading to rose at base of petals, pales with maturity when it is 1/2 flared.
Foliage: Mid green.
Parentage:Amelie Aubin x unknown.
