[Cooley's Gardens catalog 1965]: A smoky amethyst on white, the etching on the falls being quite evenly distributed and the standards flushed rather than dotted or etched with white. The huge bronze style arms are a stunning feature of this slightly sombre but artistically lovely flower. It is wide of petal and heavily fluted and ruffled. Very large, 34 inches in height. Limited stock. Seedling No. 45-OPE. Each $20.00.
