Corky * Purity

A gold sib to Toy Trumpets with the outer scapes in the clump leaning outward while the center ones are upright giving a bouquet effect. It reminds me of a shorter Golden Chimes (which always fell over for me, unfortunately. This one won't.)

Corky * Purity

Toy Trumpets: The favorite of all my introductions, it is the hardest to fault. From an odd-ball cross of chest-high altissima hybrid Purity with multiflora-branched miniature Corky came many seedling with a similar fault; they combined the height of Purity with the thin scapes of Corky and promptly fell over. Toy Trumpets did not. With clear light-to-medium yellow miniature trumpets this plant is a study in grace. Its foliage has vase-shaped fans framing thin but very erect 30 inch scapes with wonderful branching and budcount. The scape count per clump is very high also. Extremely dormant. This plant is enormously weather and pest resistant. I know of nothing else like it!

Opal Princess (Sobek 81) 35 ML 5, Pink Blend, Dor Dip Ext
For Openers (= Renee * Winning Ways) * Hope Diamond

Opal Princess: This flat, ruffled ML polychrome is a child of my first introduction For Openers which was named because 1) it was my first introduction and 2) it throws seedlings that open well. For Openers was a plain gold; Opal Princess is a delicate blend of pastel tones. Pretty!
