From Moonshine Gardens catalog, 1989: BIRDBATH (BB) 26" M. Dl61- 1: SONG OF NORWAY X (CEASE-FIRE x SKY HOOKS). Blue-white with blue beards and blue-white spoons. A very heavily ruffled, scaled down version of SONG OF NORWAY that always has long graceful spoons on all its flowers here. Fertile both ways and I'm using it like crazy for space age IBs. Is giving its super form and good appendages. Can't hardly wait for the new bunch to bloom this spring, sired by the most perfectly formed SDB of all time - AZURE GEM ! $20.00
