Artillery Fire

ARTILLERY FIRE

Bill Waldrop 2016

(Wild and Free x Walt Lowry)
Sev. Tet. Early to mid-season blooms. 44” tall, 4-way branching, 23 buds, 12” flower.

We went to Ohio where I saw Sandy Holmes' WALT LOWRY blooming in her garden, and I was mesmerized. Astonishing beauty! I had to have WALT LOWRY, and I was fortunate that Sandy let me grow her flower. I wanted WALT LOWRY because of its beauty, and because one of its parents was TET. SKINWALKER. I then crossed WALT LOWRY with Stamile's WILD AND FREE and the result was my new introduction. It has a bold burgundy color with a large and distinctive green eye that extends into the petals and sepals, and the twisted crispate form on the petals and sepals just immeasurably enhances its beauty. It really stands out in the garden! Pollen fertile.
