Catalog comments: "ALMOST FAMOUS (Blyth 2015 Aust) EM 23" Border Bearded. We called it Almost Famous because if this was a full sized Tall Bearded, it undoubtedly would have been famous. Gorgeous creamy white standards with a creamy edge, fading to white after the first day. The falls are medium apricot with blended apricot veining radiating out from the hafts. Beards are bright tangerine. Everything is in proportion to its height and there can be 3 perfect flowers out at once. It is fertile. Delicious! What a pedigree!
