FAITH THAT TRANSFORMS

(N. Ripley 2017) 09-10NR067B (Stick Figure x Entwined in The Vine) Tet. Faith That Transforms is an extra large flower that is very striking in the garden and I believe would be an excellent show flower. I have loved this flower from first bloom. The color combination for me is extra ordinary. The huge chalky eye zone, moves out to purple and this color moves out to wine purple. The midrib is somewhat raised. Sepal have the same chalky eye zone moving to a line of darker wine purple to a lighter wine purple. The flowers are so well placed on the tall 41-44” scapes, it looks like it has huge butterflies landing on it. The sepals curl back and the petals have a slight ruffle. There is a very fine white edge. Faith That Transforms is covered with diamond dusting. Scapes are strong and straight up with no bending with the large over 7” flowers. Scapes vary from 4 to 5 way branching. The pollen varies from light yellow to dark yellow. I have not used the pollen but Faith That Transforms is a good pod parent and I am going to try the pollen this summer. The plant blooms for a long time and with enough moisture will rebloom but not on all fans. Dormant, fragrance, EM. Double fan, $75.00.
