GREENWAY -DF- (Stamile, P. 2009)
(Leslie Renee x Judy Farquhar)
29" MLaRe. no fr. emo. SEv. 6.5" x 3.875" x 2.125"
3-way branching. 21 buds.
This gorgeous sib to DIXIE SUNRISE got its pod parent's green edge and color and its pollen parent's size, ruffling and angel wings. Like DIXIE SUNRISE there is an amazing clarity of color for such a large bloom. Interestingly DIXIE SUNRISE was from early pods on LESLIE RENEE with JUDY FARQUHAR while GREENWAY was from later pods on LESLIE RENEE with JUDY FARQUHAR.
I am not one to label all my evergreens as semi-evergreen because they decline after freezing weather. For me the semi-evergreen foliage habit is fairly rare. I fully expect that in the far North GREENWAY will go dormant while in the deep South there will be some green foliage above ground all year.
This rose pink and green combination arising from the deep grass green throat and chartreuse green edging is stunning. A bit of a bitone since the petals on GREENWAY are rose pink with a baby ribbon pink watermark and baby ribbon pink sepals.
A super flower that comes to bloom just as you think you have seen the best flowers of the season. Fertile both ways with especially powerful pollen.
JUDY FARQUHAR (Stamile,P. 2006) TET 2164-J {(Sangre de Cristo x Fuchsia Kiss) X [(((Magic Amethyst x Lake Effect) x Big Blue) x Be Thine)]} 34" MRe. emo. ext. vfr. Ev. 7 ½" x 4 1/8" x 2 ¼". 4-way branching. 20 buds. Angel wings. Like them big? Our friend Judy Farquhar does and she picked this beauty to be named for her. As one of our largest flowers, I have measured first blooms at 8 ½" and petals at over 5" in width. Each petal was bigger than a lot of daylilies. You can see its relative size when the 2 ½" LITTLE ROSIE O'GRADY is placed on top of the flower. The flowers start the season as a peach pink but slowly the peach shade mutates more into a spun sugar pink. Huge 1 - 1½" angel wings are characteristic of JUDY. The form is exceptionally flat with little to no flaring or recurve. The substance is excellent. The scapes are strong, erect and branched. As a parent it produces exceptionally large flowers - some with horns and tentacles to 1" in length and many with angel wings. An absolutely phenomenal flower. Fertile both ways.
