SPRING (Stamile,P.) TET 496-C [(Inimitable X (Leslie Renee
x Cerise Masterpiece)] 25” ERe. emo. Ev. 6 ½” x 3 ½” x 2
½”. 4-way branching (2 laterals + terminal Y) 25-30 buds.
This is the first flower that I know of that I would call predominantly
green. The massive spring green throat covers 60% of the diameter of
the flower while the ¼” green edge leaves just a dollop of
greenish pink to finish the remaining part of the petals and sepals.
A very beautiful and unusual flower. I do not recall
ever seeing this color combination in any named variety or seedling.
Because of INIMITABLE as one of its parents it is also a very large
flower. The green throat alone at 4.5” is bigger than many greenish
flowers. Fertile both ways.
