From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2005: SHARPER IMAGE - TB, 42" (107 cm), Midseason-Late. Short, light lavender horns sharpen the stately image of these large, moderately ruffled, milk-glass white flowers. Show winning stalks have 3 precisely spaced branches with 7-8 buds. Sharper Image can easily open 4 blooms at a time as demonstrated by a stalk exhibited as a seedling at the OTIS show this past spring. Both parents insure vigorous, disease resistant growth.
