* 'Madonna Arsenault' (John Peat, 2004) 24 in. (61 cm) scape; 7.5 in. (19.1 cm) flower. Midseason-late. 4 way branching with 30 buds. A huge lavender-purple with a large tangerine-orange watermark extending out on the petals from a deep dark green throat. The extremely ruffled, diamond dusted edges, carry the thick rubbery texture of its cousin 'Promised Day' on a much larger flower. Named after a young lady who has worked in my neighborhood for 22 years, a beautiful blonde with a bubbly personality, always looking perfect. Tetraploid.
