From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2008: ROMANTIC MELODY (Black 08) TB Midseason-Late 36” (91cm). Lovers stroll through the park as a Romantic Melody embraces them. All petals and styles are amply ruffled and lightly laced. Standards have light lilac centers blending to paler mauve-pink margins. Mauve-pink styles echo the latter. Horizontally flared falls are muted medium to light pink with darker peach hafts. Tangerine beards add a high note to this Romantic Melody. Smaller flowers are gracefully presented on stalks with 3 branches and 8-9 buds. Sdlg. L26B: Lotus Land X Cameo Appearance. BONUS.
