From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2006: BERRY SCARY - TB, 38" (97 cm), Early-Midseason. As twilight descends into darkness, the hauntingly eerie colors of Berry Scary appear. Pastel grayed orchid standards become darker and clearer at margins. Heavily ruffled falls begin with a wide blended band of pastel grayed orchid which shades to dark red purple toward orange beards that are nestled in a contrasting white spray. Show stalks carry 10-12 buds. Increases rapidly into full clump. Sdlg. H40JJ: Off Color Joke X (Skyblaze x Tom Johnson). $50.00.
