A coy, floriferous, white triandrus from Brian Duncan, recently registered, with a broad and a bit of a shallow cup. Up to seven blooms on a scape,Sol Sisters got to stick together.

Labelled an intermediate and labelled a dwarf I dutifully planted Solera in the miniatures bed. And there it blooms every year like Baby Huey over-taxing the crib, a sixth grader towering over the principal. Makes lots of consistent blooms that develop a lovely color along with a flattened perianth. I see Solera often at shows as a dependable team player, especially in collections. It is more late than mid season blooming for us in Connecticut. From Brian Duncan.
