Brian Mahieu-Take 2

Brian's 'CORAL HUMMINGBIRD' is basically a crispate unusual form with 6-inch blooms on 40-inch scapes. However, that's where "basic" leaves off and "special" takes over. The color is a lovely salmon/coral blend with a rose red eye, and it has darker veining or ribbing. There are lighter midribs and the throat is a yellow to lime green. It has a light suede substance with some diamond dusting. Part of its charm is that no two blooms are exactly alike, and they frequently have an asymmetrical appearance. Parents are 'ROSY PURPLE ODDITY X JENNIE LOVE'. The plant is slightly rhizomatous and an excellent clumper. It is fertile both ways. This gem is a must at Brookside gardens.
