From Moonshine Gardens catalog, 1989: FLOWER CHILD (SDB) 81, E-L. E24-110: SMALL FLASH X DITTO. White S. and white borders around multicolored F.-a green-gold spray pattern from the hafts suffuses into a wine, then grape overlay; white beards tipped yellow. What a beautiful coat of many colors this child wears. Perfect form, super wide, and round and very ruffled. The flowers have ranged in size from medium large to quite small. Lots of rebloom here every year in early October. Like its sib FRANKINCENSE it is very fragrant--sometimes smells like sweet aromatic pipe tobacco. $10.00
