Claudia,

I got mine from an AIS Region 6 auction. However, you can probably buy it directly from Dorothy Willott. PM me if you need help finding her contact info.

Lovely! That Laurelwood looks almost exactly like my Tantara which is blooming now, but yours has that cute little dart at the beard. Wonderful color.

Wow!

Gorgeous flowers.

Here are some unknown to me dwarfs. My bgf at the time bought named plants, but promptly threw all tags away as they were messy. :eek:

Mike, I have Tantara blooming now, too. I would say that the color of Tantara is a bit brighter and has a slightly reddish/rusty cast to it. Laurelwood is more brown and has a slightly smaller flower. I like them both.
