Kell, I try to work on the calyx in future generations. It is a trait coming from B. versicolor. If I understood Vicki correctly 'EDW' is 'Species' x 'EP'. I have crossed the double ('Lena') back to 'Goldenes Kornett', but also crossed it to 'Rubirosa' and 'Analyn'. The two latter hopefully elongates the flowers a bit and lay down a foundation for golden, pink and peach doubles ...

Here is 'Goldenes Kornett'. It is a fast and robust grower. I started a little cutting in the spring and now it is standing in my wintergarden 2.5 m tall.
