RETICULATED RUBY (Black 21) Midseason-Late 33” (84cm) ‘Reticulated Ruby’ probably won’t win any beauty contest. It is being introduced mostly for the unique reticulated fall pattern. This is the first time I’ve seen it, although there may be others. Veins normally descend the falls in an open linear fashion. Reticulated Ruby’s veins all interconnected so as to create islands of darker color. The patterning isn’t obvious until the veins lighten as the flower ages. Standards are mid mauve and falls mid garnet with lighter reticulated veining overall. Well-branched stalks have 7-8 buds. Sdlg.
