ZOE ALLEGRA
Petit, T. 2009 - 30" TET EMid Sev. 5.5" one of the most mysterious flowers that I have ever grown. The lavender blooms have a pattern eye that contains many colors, from violet to charcoal, mahogany, white, and green. The pattern itself changes daily. It can appear as clear distinct bands, as pictured, creating the effect of a kaleidoscope, or a flower within a flower. On other days, it can appear quite exotic, with many, many ripples of blue violet, giving it the garden name of “pebble in a pond." The petals lift in the center of the flower revealing the pattern mimicked on the sepals. To add ornate to exotic, the flowers also have a violet picotee, surrounded by a second, knobby wire gold edge. A sinfully fertile, awesome parent! Named for a delightful young lady in St. Catherines, Ontario.
