From AIS Bulletin #289 April 1993 Introducing FINE HARMONY. A single (3 falls) of very round overlapping falls. The falls are white around the yellow signal and then blend to a mosaic violet with white rays to the petal edges. The white standards blend to lavender purple at the edges. Ruffling and crinkling of the falls show how rounded and full this flower is on its 34" stalk. A picture of harmony for this mid-season bloomer. $35. Nicholls Gardens.
