From AIS Bulletin #133, April 1954. Introducing PIANISSIMO (Edmison)-As softly coloured as the namne inplies. Standards are pale peach-pink; falls are white with an orange-peach band around the edge 1/4" in width. Beard white tipped peach-pink. A new pattern and colour in a hardy plant with extra heavy stalks and foliage, and largest rhizomes. It is fertile both ways, giving a great opportunity for hybridizers. Needs a little more depth of colour and longer lasting qualities. (Muhlestein #47-108 x Muhlestein #49-11). $12.00. Avonbank 1954.
