Baby Doll

Named in honor of Carroll Baker and her role in the 1956 movie 'Baby Doll'. The film had very limited distribution and was pulled from many theaters as it was sensually ahead of its time. The popularity and name of the nightgown Baby Doll is a direct result of this film. The film was nominated for four academy awards and won numerous other honors. Baby Doll blooms in compact flower heads. Fragrance is medium strength and floral sweet. The blooms are very feminine and lovely both in color and form. The inner petal edges are ruffled. The well rounded petals overlap. As the blooms mature the petals reflex backwards. Mature bloom size varies from 2-3" depending upon watering habits. The reverse side of the blooms is interesting and attractive. The leaves are attractive with a deep green, are below average in size and do not hide the bloom heads. Blooms easily with good bloom production and long lasting blooms. The growth habit is upright with excellent triple-branching with each inflorescence. Smells like big red gum and bloomed all season long.
