From AIS Bulletin #241 April 1981 Introducing EDVARD GRIEG (Paris Opera x (Air de Ballet x Night Frost)). A distinctly different blending of violet, orchid, lavender and magenta. A self of true beauty and of huge proportion. Expansive, beautifully formed and heavily substanced. The very broad-petaled blossoms are attractively ruffled, very fragrant and held on well-branched, sturdy stalks. Named in memory of the Norwegian composer. TB, M, 38", HC '76. $25.00. Cliff Benson.
