Big Eyes

A wonderful hybrid, originally from a remote seedling swarm of G.nivalis x G.plicatus in Berkshire. Alan Street c. 2009. This new form bewitches all who see it with large green "eyes" on its inner segments, which unlike "Grumpy" can be seen even when the petals are closed. Thick, almost waxy leaves. This is paired to great effect with a large deep green pair of eye-markings towards the base of the inner segments in addition to the apical mark. The "eyes" are definately more showy than Grumpy's face. Flowers long-lasting, weatherproof, superb. Early - mid season, flowering into season.
