With
a nod to Van Sellers whose
expression “Lawzy Lawzy” always tickles us and to the 17 yr old Lloyd
Price’s
“Lawdy Lawdy Miss Clawdy” we introduce Lawdy Lawdy.
When you first
see this bloom open perfectly in the morning with its huge size which
sometimes
has gone over 10.5” and distinctive color of green and violet purple
you just
gasp.
Lawdy Lawdy also has some very interesting
features. The back of
the flowers show the same coloration as the front of the flower giving
a
wonderful multi-directional effect in the garden. The flowers
occasionally show
cristation in the throat which looks like a tiny double flower sitting
in the
throat. The first set of scapes are usually at 28” while the last set
of scapes
can top 38”.
