Tavye Celeste
(Gary Colby x Meet Joe Black) x (Gavin Petit) Sev. 5.5" fl. 30" sc. M 20 - 25 buds. I love dark and black flowers in the garden, and have hybridized these flowers more than most. The base color of these flowers is a dark burgundy purple, with a deep green throat. The flowers have a large, extremely dark black purple eye. The color of the eye continues around the petal edges as an even darker, almost pitch black picotee, surrounded by a wire gold edge. Named for Tavye Celeste Napier, an extraordinary lady, flower lover, and Professor at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.
