Elegant, clear, statuesque, bright, and as tenacious as can be... I've chosen this incredibly beautiful flower to bear the namesake of a very dear friend of mine, Marlene Labar, of Iowa City, Iowa.

This incredibly articulate flower has remarkable form and style, regardless of what the environment throws at it... just like Mar. The rigid yet relaxed and rolled back form has sophistication, making it incredibly beautiful no matter what angle you view her from... just like Mar. Regardless of conditions, the tenacity to rebloom immediately in spite of what's going on around it is nothing short of incredible... just like Mar. If you're looking for a beautiful flower to make your garden a resounding success... MAR THE STAR is for you! If you're looking for a person to make your world a more beautiful place... then get to know Marlene Labar.  ;-)
