Hybridizer's comment: This was such a surprising cross that resulted in all the seedlings being in shades of pink, yet all having the distinctive 'Dinner Talk' form and underlying patterning, and yes, the pedigree is correct, hence the name. Yes, there should have been some violet shades among the seedlings. Here the standards are peach pink and the falls are peach pink with a soft rose overlay and an 1/8" edge of the standard colour. Beards are coral over white. Lots of flowers make for a wonderful garden display and there are stems that will win on the show bench. Fertile and carries its colour patterning to the next generation.
