InfoThe Zonda is a wind that blows on of the slopes of the Andes in Argentina, fluttering the blue and white Agentine flag.
It is a H. 'Second Wind' OP seedling, very likely crossed by the bees to H. 'Frances Williams' or something similar, and therefore probably triploid.
It is sometimes pollen fertile and occasionally sets seeds, but seems to produce rather indifferent (aneuploid) seedlings, consistent with that assertion.
It emerged as a 'streaker' but immediately stabilised.
