From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2006: ATHENS - TB, 37" (94 cm), Early-Midseason. Athens is noted as the center of fine arts and architecture. Its namesake brings together all these same superior traits. The architecture of Athens is strong in combination with its breathtaking artistry. There is no way to describe it with words, only the picture will convey its excellence. In its simplest terms, Athens is a light blue and white fancy, luminata plicata with white beards brushed yellow. Strongly formed flowers are graced with large, impeccable ruffles. Showstalks have 3 branches and carry 8-9 buds. Sdlg. T53A: Fancy Woman X Handshake. $50.00.
