    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A lovely and vigorous soft orchid pink. This is almost identical to "Fair Oaks" but lighter in color. Both have violet striations in the center. Roy Coombs describes it as "unusual and beautiful." He was right, by the way. See the description for "Fair Oaks." (Margery Fish, c. 1960)
