Awaiting original catalog description
Hybridizer's Comment Deschutes’ superb form and ruffling capture the surging rhythm of central oregon’s world-renowned fly fishing river. royal blue-purple in coloration, the broad falls are darker toned than the statuesque standards. the lighter perimeter of the falls matches the standards, and surrounding everything are delightfully bouncy ripples. deschutes sports 2 double-socketed branches with 7 buds per sturdy stem. a faint saffron tips the blue beards. lewis and clark had to settle for seeing the river, missing our late-blooming introduction by 212 years. dodger blue x (fiesta in blue x cape perpetua)
