Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Opening from dragon-mouthed buds that may remind you of the blood-thirsty plant inThe Little Shop of Horrors, 'Caf_ Brun's ruffled, jagged, over-caffeinated flowers are a deep gold intricately patterned with dusky-red. Though its name means "Brown Coffee" _ that is, coffee with milk _ it's not really brown, just wild and cool. Be sure to look for its tiny horns and spurs. (For even older parrots, see 'Amiral', 'Markgraaf van Baden', and 'Perfecta'.) Parrot, 12-14", zones 4b-7a(7bWC)
