LADY HAWKE (King-Lamone 1999)
This subtle Crispata displays just a touch of
sepal quilling and petal tip twisting. I feel that if this were a yellow
I would have tossed it, but its intriguing, soft colour play works very
well with a subtle crispation pattern. Well-branched scapes help to place
each flower at an important distance (for individual viewing) from each
other.
This beautiful ivory CRISPATA was a seedling out
of ASTERISK and made my heart soar. I would sincerely love to develope a
line of near-white crispatas. This cultivar also has AQUAMARINE and a Sib
to ASTERISK in its makeup. One of three seedlings selected out of 250, this
was the only near white that had branching. It opens palest flesh-lavender
then turns white in sun. A nocturnal, opening easily in cool weather.
