00:05
I've only seen it flower three times since 2011. But when it finally does, it's breathtaking.
00:12
The petals are a deep, velvety purple with a satin sheen, living up perfectly to its name.
00:17

00:23
a striking contrast that made the wait worthwhile. It seems to be very rare,
00:27
which only makes it feel more special when it decides to grace the garden.
