Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Pure white flowers with the upper lobes displaying a large, dark purple-maroon blotch. The petals all curve backwards to highlight the rounded trusses.

By: Bloom River Gardens

A hybrid with outstanding beautiful, large flowers held in a very rounded, tight truss. Showy, pure white flowers are up to 5" across and have a large, deep purple-maroon blotch on the upper lobes. The petals curve backwards adding to the very round appearance of the truss. The smooth foliage is a lovely deep green. You'll say 'Great Scott!' too when you see the flowers on this plant. ('Mrs. J. G. Millais' x 'Cheyenne')
