FULLY ARTFUL 
                     
          (N. Ripley 2018) Dip Fully Artful, 12NRD261 (Nature’s  Fine Art x Nikki Schmith)    Oh my gosh  what a fun flower is Fully Artful. I put it with  patterns, spiders, and unusual forms.  The opportunities are endless.  The height is wonderful for this large flower  and the spacing on the scapes is perfection.   Scapes straight up and it doesn’t seem to matter how many flowers are  open it stays straight. It is a true sepal quilled flower, and would have to  say it is an unusual form. The color combination is colorful for sure. Petals  start with what I call skin toned peach, into a pretty reddish purple eye,  ending in a large green throat. This flower  makes me smile and my head swims with impossibilities of what I could get in  kids. Tall 38”, with a great scape of 4 to 5 way branching,  20 + buds, 7” quilled crispate flower,   rebloomer, pod & pollen fertile. Semi-evergreen and hardy in my  garden. I can’t wait to see what  this  summer holds in seedlings.  I put Fully  Artful on more dips than any other flower in my garden, because the  possibilities are endless. Yes, I set a few pods as well.  Double fan, $100.00. Limited.  |
