• [AIS Bulletin No. 186, July 1967]: ARCTIC FANCY. (IB. A. Brown '65). In the same color range as Rococo; violet stitching on white ground with falls showing some violet veining, 18". Two branches, four buds, flower quite large with wide petals; almost too large as flowers tend to bunch, although stalks may have been shorter than normal due to several frosts.
