Freesia armstrongii from Delhi, displayed at Annual flowers show of Delhi University on February 26, 2010.

Is it been named after the American Astaunot.

No chance ... The species was named in 1904.

According to the book Freesias By W. F. McKenzie F armstrongii was found in South Africa in 1897 and was named after its finder Mr. Armstrong.

Could not find much details of Freesia armstrongii on net.

Must be some hybrid as per details at
