*JUDY FARQUHAR (Stamile,P.) 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 OGRADY 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.
