From AIS Bulletin #273 April 1989 Introducing SERENITY PRAYER (Perry Dyer '89) SDB, 13" (33 cm), EM-L. This seedling was selected as the best of over 100 seedlings from a cross whose goal was a pure white with a true blue beard. This will be the only seedling introduced from the cross, and will be my last introduction (at least for several years!). Standards are creamy white, flushed warm light yellow in the midribs. Falls are also creamy white, slightly flushed light yellow at the shoulders. Beards are an intense deep blue, lightly tipped a harmonious powder blue. The lustrous finish gives a mother-of-pearl effect. Lightly to moderately waved, broad form. 1 branch, 3 buds. It inherited the vigor and floriferousness of Sapphire Jewel, and consistently repeat blooms during the tall bearded season. Sdlg. L-4 (Hamblen M73-12A: (((Sunny Heart x Blue Canary sib) x Canary Isle) x Tumwater) X Sapphire Jewel). POSTPAID $10.00. Contemporary Gardens. |
