Ron Livingston of Michigan originated this medium size, non-registered seedling selection. The foliage is green and slightly wavy. Bright purple flowers bloom in August.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "The foliage...is not much to look at...Examine the flowers. From the outside, the color appears to be a consistent purple, but the interior reveals the tremendous value of this plant. Three tepals display a very pale, almost white color with a bit of purple striping near the base, while the other three are distinctly purple striped from base to tip...'Elp 2'also bears this alternating tepal trait, though less pronounced."
