Orlaya grandiflora

My favourite lace type flower, White Orlay Finch is one of the fist to bloom in the garden as it is very cold hardy. The delicate petals are really unique as they are much larger than Queen Anns Lace flowers. They make a fantastic cut flowers and look beautiful in the landscape. They can be over wintered or started very early. Cold stratification can help with germination.
