From AIS Bulletin #221 April 1976 Introducing FRILLS (Bernice Roe) is a very fluted, full jonquil yellow self even to the beard. This looks like a miniature tall bearded and has refused all attempts to make it grow up. I have no doubt that this will stay in class both for flower size and also height of stalk. At the very most, this is 20" tall. Denver Mint X (Rainbow Gold x Ultrapoise). HC 1975. $15.00. Pacific Coast Hybridizers.
