Description

Stones of Fire (Korth-P., – Korth-L.; 2026)

Pinewood Flambeau× Foundation Jewel

Deep brick red with green throat, red sepals, and cream toothy edge.

Stones of Fire is our second introduction from Pinewood Flambeau.  Pinewood Flambeau is a fine garden plant, but Stones of Fire exceeds it in flower size and scape height.  The tall scapes stay upright and display the deep red flowers well.  The flowers open well but need a little time in the morning to fully open – not an early morning opener.  That is fine because the flowers look good throughout the day.

As a breeder, Stones of Fire is fertile both ways.  We have some excellent seedlings under evaluation in red and burgundy colors with more to bloom in 2027.  The large toothy edge is passed on to the offspring making for some fun seedlings.

The name Stones of Fire is a continuation of our rock/mineral theme going way back to one of our first introductions – Upon This Rock.  We can trace the lineage of Stones of Fire back to Upon This Rock and we try to maintain the rock/mineral theme when Upon This Rock is in the background.  The name is taken from the Old Testament book of Ezekiel 28:14 where Satan is described as blessed while walking on the Stones of Fire in the garden of Eden before he rebelled against God.

Stones of Fire is being sold as double fans.
