Fl. 92 mm wide; perianth segments mid-yellow; corona bowl-shaped, ribbed, very dark red, frilled, with rim deeply notched. The cup opens deep orange red with a deeper red serrated rim. As it matures, the whole cup color intensifies and the rim color is almost a burnt red appearance.
Named after Doug Olson’s favorite Scotch whiskey distillery. Doug enjoyed a dram of whiskey in the evening and rated Laphroaig as well worth the search, even though it was not easily obtainable.
