    RHS describes Warbler thusly: 'Fl. 70 mm wide; perianth segments broadly ovate, blunt, only very slightly mucronate, deep yellow, tinged green at base, strongly reflexed, overlapping half; the inner segments somewhat creased and with margins wavy; corona cylindrical, smoothly angled, slightly deeper in tone than the perianth, tinged orange at rim, mouth flared and loosely frilled, rim with deep crenations sometimes overlapping.' at‘The Royal Horticultural Society Horticultural Database’, available at www.rhs.org.uk
    Good candidate for forcing.
