(OTAVALO / COURT MAGICIAN) x RUFFLED DUDE
While certainly not some refined dilettante, this unrestrained space cadet knows how to party! Letting it all hang out, the 5" flowers have an unpredictable form, with large unruly ruffles emerging from a deeply pleated throat. Loosely described as a ‘pink’, the color shows rose and lavender with undertones of pewter orchid. Recommended for the front of the bed here in the North, with three and four-way branched scapes held barely above the foliage, I suspect this party queen may be more at home in the decadence of a souped up Southern culture. Moderately fertile, yet producing some wonderful results.
