This is a plant my son gave me for my birthday last year. It had unusual ruffled petals which was why he bought it. I wasn't sure if it would bloom out that way again but it did, so it must be a genetic tag. I also cut the spent spike the end of June and it rewarded me with double spikes this year and a total of 13 flowers. It's a huge plant.
Haven't found one of these beauties yet but you can bet when I do it will be in my collection! I love softness the ruffle adds to the petals. I think BickerDoc has a purple one. The hunt is on!
