Easy enough - she earned the name honestly, a naturally occurring selection out of my own growing efforts that I submitted to the IAS Cultivar Committee and they agreed was worth putting a name to. Strong primary venation against a dark green lamina, margins that undulate in a way that photographs never quite capture. The two smaller photos below catch her as a seedling, picked out early for exactly these traits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere's the part I like telling people: her parents are nothing to write home about. Handsome, sure, each with a characteristic or two worth mentioning at a swap meet, but not plants you'd pull out of a lineup. (crystallinum x magnificum) x (magnificum x nigrolaminum \"Gigi\") is the math behind her, for those keeping score, and yet the sum turned out better than either addend. A good reminder not to write off the pedestrian-looking bench plants too quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pollen parent is aff besseae \"Long.\" That's really all I've got on this one - no story, no provenance, just a name on a tag and a seedling batch to see what it does when crossed onto 'Amy.'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fuzzy Petioles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42319860858935,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/1734\/4823\/files\/2fd7afdf-7356-4072-aade-6b7be30713ef.jpg?v=1783985651","url":"https:\/\/40535d-84.myshopify.com\/products\/amy-x-aff-besseae-long-1","provider":"Fuzzy Petioles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
