'Amoena' is indeed nice, but as a Bay Area girl, it's 'San Leandro' that interests me.. There are many with Northern California place names that I'd like to have.. Mohr/Mitchell had some of them.

Anyone recognize this historic? It was given to me (5 of them) as Immortality but I am sure that is wrong. It looks a little like Rameses or Rosy Wings but not exactly.
Blooms midseason and it about 35" tall. First year bloom.
