CRIMSON ENIGMA - # 2000-17 dor. diploid. MLa.44” 7.5”
Truly and Enigma is this bright velvety crimson self with a huge yellow throat
covering a third of the flower, and turning to green in the bottom
fourth. CRIMSON ENIGMA has many faces, enough to
prevent it from being placed in a definite category.
Sometimes it is a Pinched Crispate or a highly recurved flower.
What is most interesting about it is the petal
midribs, which instead of being single, are often double and
raised. From these double track midribs petal appendages or crests often extend
upwards and to the side. Sometimes the cresting occurs on
one petal, sometimes on two, but when it occurs on all three, it becomes an
exotically gorgeous cockscomb. It cant’ be classed as a UF
or a Double, but I hope to try to fix and establish this
trait to achieve 100% consistent cresting. Fertile both
ways. 2-Way branching with a bud count of 12.
The parentage is not known with certainty because tags got up heaved
during the winter, but it may be

LADY IN VELVET - # 97-32 dor.dip.M.27” 9” The color on this one is a bit difficult to describe, but similar to a reddish magenta blend with a huge chartreuse green throat, and a halo-band of slight darker reddish magenta. LADY IN VELVET is an Unusual Form Cascade. Because of the size of the flowers, it creates quite a visual impact. 2-Way branching. Bud count = 13.
