Complex hybrid back to either insigne or a similar species...

For Harefield Hall, you can be peaceful, nearly no one still has it. It is a great flower, fantastic plant and... it never clumps. What is sold or exhibited most of the time as Harefield Hall are another insigne. One has the proper dorsal, but too small spots, the other one has a bit pinched dorsal, good spot size, but the color is not right. I have seen Harefield Hall only two times, for 'confirmed plants' Once in Bruges Botanical Gardens, now collapsed, and at Ratcliffe in England. They did, indeed, not clump at all.

I have seen many divisions of Troilus sold as insigne Harefield Hall. Contrary to the legend, Harefield Hall is able to breed, depending on the flowering, usually it will produce triploid or tetraploid progeny.
