MENS REA

Bret Clement 2014

Tetraploid, Dormant, Mid/late, 5", 28" Height, 3-5 Way Branching, 12-18 Budcount.
(Startle x Mabel Winegar)

Mens Rea is a rose red self with a green throat and knobby gold edge. Latin for guilty mind, in criminal law it refers to the state of mind necessary to find criminal culpability. I am guilty of thinking that Mens Rea is one heck of a flower. Plenty of hooks, knobs and even a few teeth adorn its edges. Mens Rea is prettiest in cooler weather, with the color sort of fading away in hot weather as shown in the photos above, a trait it shares with its famous parent Startle.

Fertile Both Ways
