*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 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.
