APHRODITE’S NIGHTY

APHRODITE’S NIGHTY, Tet, Mid, 43 x 6, 2-3 lats. + terminal “Y”, 25-30 buds, Pollen fertile.

(ODDS AND ENDS x Sdlg.)

What a delicate sweet thing this flower is. The blossom has an open form that is light colored with diamond dusting and opalesces on its sturdy scapes.

APHRODITE’S NIGHTY is a touch of mysterious femininity in the garden. It is a tall stately and slightly seductive thing. The pink blush on the creamy petals would be the enticing color of the goddess’ thigh just peeking through the filmy fabric of her garment when emerging from her bath. The deep chartreuse of the throat could be the color of the sweet liquor she sips before retiring to her chamber.

If you are a romantic, as I am, you can let your imagination run freely as you gaze upon APHRODITE’S NIGHTY, what thoughts you might have you had better keep to yourself, because it is dangerous to gaze upon a goddess in her sleeping attire.

APHRODITIE’S NIGHTY is being grown by Linda Sue and Curtis Barns in Wade, North Carolina and will be shipped from there.
