Weird name, cool flower. With "much rich beauty to commend it" (in the words of the 1929 Scheepers catalog), this true broken tulip is a swirling tapestry of "all shades of deep lilac and dark reddish rose" feathered and flamed on creamy yellow and white. "The whole is rich and strange" _ and glorious! Single Late, 20-24", late-blooming, zones 4a-7a(7bWC), from the Hortus.
