    Successfully forced spring of 2015, plan on trans-locating to garden this fall for blooms outside in subsequent years.

    Green Eyed Lady - (one of our very own seedlings) pristine white petals with a dark green eye highlighting its creamy white cup, which matures to pure white in time; lovely and prolific; 14"-16";(10/12cm)
