Named for my Great great Grandmother, Anna Dodd Murphy is a light warm, yellow amber, with a darker diluted, reddish amber eye, that is repeated on the elongated sepals. It sports dark pencil line around a double edge and eye, over a deep green throat. Very tiny teeth edge the petals. The whole look is unique & different from most flowers, & it can present its' coloring differently on some days. Coming from Lonesome Soldier, the plant habit is nothing short of fabulous. Pod / pollen fertile.
