Zanthedeschia 'coburn'?

From: "Susan Cox" snalice at dslextreme.com> on 2005.03.03 at 05:02:44(12754) To the person it may concern, or anyone else who might know: I received a Zanthedeschia from a person in Ireland (I can't remember who now, sorry) several years ago. It was told to me that this particular Zanthedeschia survived a terrible, terrible freeze in Ireland (I think) when many other very hardy plants did not survive. I am hoping to find the variety name. The closest I can recall, it was something like 'coburn'. Zanthedeschia coburn? Can someone verify this name? Does anyone recognize this name, or have a clue as to what I'm talking about? I would like to hear the details of the freeze story again and rediscover which one it was. It may have been so named because of the town in which it survived the freeze. Please help and thanks!

From: bonaventure at optonline.net on 2005.03.05 at 21:50:54(12767) Sue, I'm here in central coastal NJ where Alberta clippers have been bringing near 0F temps regularly in winter. Its still cold and the top of the garden soil is still frozen, but Zanties,a small floriferous pink and a medium white with white-speckled leaves, are buried deep within the sandy sub-soil, and have for several years been getting several inches of organic mulch a year. A 'Goliath Yellow' or something like that, has not survived. They sprout and quickly come into bloom in early summer.

This is probably the most hardy cultivar.< Yes, this is most likely the correct cultivar and it sounds most familiar too. Crowborough/coburn.....the 'c' and the 'b' are all there. :) I found that Crowborough is a town in East Sussex, UK. Thank you Marek (Abrimaal?), and thank you Rob and Bonaventure for your suggestions and comments! I will check my plant against the Crowborough I found online for similarities......brown petiole bases in particular I suppose.
