    Mary Gay Lirette - named for our good friend who held our musical community together with her incredible talent as a pianist; the flower opens with a yellow cup that quickly turns salmon and folds back against white petals; as strong and beautiful as its namesake was! (DNII)14"-16"; early-mid spring.
