From Mid-America Garden catalog, 1989: SPRING SATIN - TB, 35" (89cm), Late. This Spring gown is truly elegant. Crisp white standards are decorated with a fine gold edge. Orchid-violet falls are paler in the center and much more intense at edges. Bright yellow-orange beards make it sparkle. With show stalk branching, she'll win many hearts. Should breed red beards easily. Thanks to David Shannon for the name. Sdlg.85154B: 83314E: (Old Flame X Instant Charm) X 833 11B: (Tequila Sunrise sib.X Entourage). SEE PHOTO. $30.00. |
