THELMA DOUGLAS
Carolina All Star (PopPoll winner) in 2016 (DOUGLAS, 2009) Tetraploid 5 ½”, DOR, ML-Re, 27”, 30+ buds, 5 way branching.
My mother taught me my love of flowers and helped start Browns Ferry Gardens. She left us in 2000 and ever since friends have asked when I was going to name a flower for her. I always told them I haven’t bloomed one good enough. She was so special, kind of heart and loved sharing her flowers with friends. When this flower bloomed, I knew she would approve and it has consistently proven to be worthy of her name!!! I consider this my landmark introduction. Yellow cream flowers with a pink blush and ½ inch deeper yellow extremely ruffled edge bloom atop very thick scapes. The scapes are 1 inch at the bottom and when they start to grow out of the very thick dark green foliage they start a bit crooked and then a long lateral branch appears from almost every bract. THELMA DOUGLAS is one of the biggest plants in the garden. She has been a wonderful parent, passing on the same plant habits. Instant rebloom. Fragrant. Fertile both ways. Due to the tremendous response from visitors in the garden, this flower is very limited.
