Lc.South Esk (Elissa x Profusion) 1943

[Carmella.carey]

Black & Flory's two tone dark lavender equivalent of Bow Bells. (In my opinion)
It has a beautiful coloring and it is exceptionally flat and round for an 80 year old hybrid.

[Ozpaph]

impressive for an 'old' plant

 

[monocotman]

Great colour and form!

 

[tomp]

Very nicely balanced as well!

 

[NEslipper]

Incredible form, and the colors really pop. Does this one have a particular clonal name?

 

[Ray]

Black & Flory - that brings back memories! I lived in England from 1962 through 1964 and rode my school bus right past their range in Slough every day.

Incidentally - Patrick, when we visited VOS, you really impressed us with your knowledge at your age!

No, it dose not. I have another one that has slightly different flowers, but it might be environmental. they could also be siblings. Maybe another flowering and I will be able to tell.

Thanks Ray, I read your story in the VOS news letter and therefore knew about your association with Black & Flory, and wanted to show this one to you, but you sort of disappeared after your talk.

By the way, great talk. I really enjoyed it and I think my plants will enjoy the far superior kelp extract!
