IT IS WHAT IT IS
(Dip) N. Ripley 2008 (Golliwog x Lavender Handlebars) Won 3rd as
Favorite Lily Chatter Seedling in Open Form. Delicious pink lavender frilly petals
and sepals lead you to a yellow green throat. The petals and sepals stand up away
from the throat to give the flower a more 4 dimensional look in the garden. This

form. It has such beauty and delicacy as to arouse delight when viewing it in the
garden. But don't let this fool you it is very hard and stands up well all through
the day. It Is What It Is calls out to the discriminating collector and breeder of

2007 Spring Introduction
SCARLET PIMPERNEL
(Tet) 2007 N. Ripley (Ruby Spider x Royal Celebration) Unusual form. Glowing Royal Garnet Red combined with startling chartreuse green throat can put a WOW in your garden. This flower has strong saturated colors that dazzle a painter's eye. I love to paint watercolors and when I first laid eyes on Scarlet Pimpernel I immediately wanted to put the brilliant colors and flower movement on paper. Scarlet Pimpernel is often producing 4 petals and sepals. The flowers stand erect all day and do not fade, looking as fresh in the evening as early morning. When you add that Scarlet Pimpernel is fertile both ways it is a collector’s and hybridizer’s dream machine. Double fans $100.
