*GREENWAY
(Stamile,
P.) TET 5295 (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.
