FACE ALL THINGS WITH LIFTED HANDS

(N. Ripley 2022) 16NR165 (Sldg. X Spirit of Sapelo) Dip. Height 32”, 6”-flower, 3-way branching, 15 buds, blooming early, and fragrant. This flower has so many things going on. A fun and complicated unusual Crispate-Spatulate flower. Heather Pink, with dark magenta eye, into a large green throat that flows far out onto the petals, and sepals curl at the end. Some ruffling on the petal edges that fold back, raised midrib on petals in a brighter pink. Large buds as the picture shows. Scapes are straight up and flowers are nicely above the foliage. “If you know me, you know how I love curls!” A hint for hybridizers, I am taking this flower and pollen to my bearded/cristate dips. If you are working with or want to make pinched crispate, midrib crested, pleated, sculpted, spatulate or any other unusual form, this flower is a treasure trove of genetics. However, I would caution you against using red or orange colors with this flower. I have many crosses coming from this flower. I can’t wait to see what I get. Fertile both ways. Double fan, $175.00. SOLD OUT!
