WITH ONE VOICE
(N. Ripley 2016) 07NR415 (Sister of Praise x sdlg.) Tet. With One Voice is an exceptionally beautiful polychrome, subtly merging cream, pinks, and the palest of yellows to form a flower of singular beauty. It is also a polymorph, making various forms and styles as she pleases depending on weather.
Now to describe With One Voice’s form… she is always adorned in gorgeous pink ruffles ending with yellow diamond dusted edges. Sometimes you will even see teeth on those sparkling edges. The petals sometimes pinch, causing the ruffles at the tips to flare dramatically. At other times, With One Voice presents round blooms with reflexed petals. The yellow of the throat blends gently with the pink of the petals, and is accented by an olive green heart. I have never seen a flower that can change like this one, and regardless of form, one’s eye is consistently drawn from the smooth petal surface to the ruffled, sparkling edges. And on some days there is sculpting in the throat area. With One Voice reblooms if enough water is present during the growing season. Flowers are of heavy substance and are typically round early in the season, and more pinched toward the end of the season. Flower size varies from 5.5" to 6" depending on mood and water. Scapes are 29" with 3 way branching & 18 plus flowers.
I have loved this flower from its first blooms, yet I held her back waiting to see if she would make up her mind on what shape she would like to be. With One Voice has decided to be anything she likes, but never disappoints her viewers. Fertile both ways. Double fan, $75.00. |
