Vivacious seedling

Post by redcrx »

I picked-up some seedlings a few years ago at Hosta College. Here is a green one that started flowering a few of days ago.
The flowers in the first two photos are not from this plant - they are from Runaround Sue behind it. This plant has a huge scape.

It maintains the white-back of Vivacious.

The flower and scape remind me of Ogon Tachi but with a duller flower.
