Chocolate Event
Description
Here is another of the “EVENT SERIES” Asiatic with such defined spattered deep maroon speckling. This is what I call a looker as well as a talker— I turn my head in disbelief as the attraction appeals to me. I want more of these so I scaled them, and now have many always blooming with in the gardens. A few years ago I saw this flower in a floral design at the NSLS, where it won many awards in 2021. The contrast of the pumpkin orange pollen makes this just pop in the gardens and in floral design. Companion to Stracciatella and Strawberry Event series. ( not available this season ) THESE ARE SO UNIQUE AND SO DIFFERENT— People have knocked on the doors asking what these were…
