References:

From AIS Bulletin #205 April 1972 Introducing WATERSCAPE (Keppel) L 36" Babbling Brook X Skywatch. The over-all effect is that of a light to medium chicory blue self. Close inspection shows the blue to be mauve-toned, shot with minute blue-almost turquoise-veining. Near-white beard. An expansive flower with very ruffled parts. Standards touching, falls lightly arched. Moderate branching and bud count, as per its parents. $25.00. Keith Keppel.
