| From Melrose Gardens catalog, 1964: EARTH ANGEL (Sexton) A pure white sister to Pacific Panorama, an ethereal creation with rounded very ruffled falls, closed domed standards fluted and airy. One of the top whites as its sister is proving to be one of the most popular medium blues. Perfect show specimen as it generally opens 3 flowers at once; short branching holds them well.
