This a new seedling and definitely a keeper. She is a large flower, about 6" across the face of the corolla and 12" long from the tip of the calyx down to the end of the skirt. Those tendrils are really long, about 3" in length. I love the nice fat corolla too. This blossom just went through a major rain/windstorm in which we got 3" of rain but she still looks fresh because the corolla and skirt are nice and thick. The hybridizer is Delisa Harvey and I am the seedling parent. This is the first time I have seen her bloom because like some of my other brugs she bloomed last spring when I was away. She is a robust grower and also bug resistant. I think she will be a keeper...what do you think?
