Hybridizer's Comment: The kicker here is the wild beard, like a glorified strip from a chenille bedspread.. .or a big, fat caterpillar, which after ail is what the French word means. Lightly greyed pinkish white to cream petais, faintly undertoned soft violet, are Iightly laced and ruffled. Fat, long beards are an almost giowing yellow orange to red orange color. Stems carry three branches and terminal, about eight buds, too short-branched for best show bench results, but perfectly fine for garden effect. Needs no label for identification!
