I have included two separate
images of ‘Move Over Dolly’ in the catalog as she is a wonderful large
golden yellow, heavily ruffled flower with a striking green throat for
approximately 75% of the season. Heavy substance and a soft silky
appearance further enhance the already beautiful flowers. As the
weather changes to high humidity and heat a dramatic change occurs in
the flower appearance. A truly unique and distinct flower shows off her
full potential. Every garden visitor must be told ‘hands off’, as the
temptation to touch ‘Move Over Dolly’ is so overwhelming. I myself have
a difficult time keeping my hands off the flower. Extra petal tissue
forms near the end of each petal, folding back along the sides of the
mid-rib, displaying mountainous like bumps. The term mid-rib double, or
butterfly wings is often used when extra tissue forms along the
mid-ribs - however, I think we need a new term to describe this type of
tissue enhancement. ‘Move Over Dolly’ is the name, because we felt this
appropriately describes her unique features.
