Nikolai Vavilov, an extremely sturdy plant with very large single red flowers, bred by Harald Fawkner. Somewhat resembling The Little Corporal, but it is much taller. Named for a Russian botanist who fell out of favour of the Communist leadership undeservingly.

A very attractive, brilliant red colour on sturdy stems with dark green leaflets. Somewhere between single and semi-double. Don’t know what its parents are, but P. peregrina surely features in it, as the foliage is reminiscent of it.
The lockdown and gardening.
