FOR ANNABELLE

(Morss) 28" M RE Ex Sev 5 ½". The blooms are a light pink with a deeper rose pink edge, encircled in gold and splashed green at the heart. The pastel, cyclamen lavender-pink color intensifies just inside the heavily embellished quarter inch wide gold edges. The full, ruffled petals are overlapped and the sepals are rolled back. The texture is silky and diamond dusted, with sunfast color and firm substance. Its unique subtlety is part of its greatness. The scapes are well branched and strongly recurrent. Fertile both ways and a fine parent. Named to evoke the memory of the late Dr. William Dunbar, an orthopedic surgeon in Santa Barbara California. As a very little boy and then onward he always called his sister Annabelle. It was the last word he said to her on the phone, the day before he died of cancer at age 45. We're pleased to name this for a very special daylily friend, Anne Dunmire, of Telford, Pennsylvania.
