Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Me! This plant is the same parentage to Marjory Gossler. We sent pollen of M. sargentiana 'Blood Moon' to Phil Savage, which he bred with M. denudata. The hybrid is a large grower (40') and has white flowers with a pink flush. The original is (was?) in a church parking lot in Bloomfield, MI.
