GREEN-EYED LIZARD (2000)
This variable crispata is less pronounced in form
than, for example, AUGUSTO BIANCO or MOONLIT PIROUETTE. Its huge size and
very unusual colouring and spotting give it an exotic presence in the garden.
28in, MID, 8.5in, top-branched, ca. 15 - 18 buds
per scape, NOCT, SEv to Ev, Soft sienna amber with green infusion and mahogany
dusting above deep, clear green throat. Very unusual novelty: the very green
throat radiates into the pale amber yellow base colour of the flower. The
outer halves of the tepals are dusted in burnt sienna, sometimes speckled
to reveal an irregular "lizard skin" pattern of pale amber. Semi
evergreen to evergreen foliage habits. Top-branched scapes with ca. 15 buds,
18 -20 cm flowers. A Pinched and Curled to Variable Crispata form with Nocturnally
opening habits. Very Fragrant. (FOOLSCAP X CAROLICOLOSSAL)
