From AIS Bulletin #305 April 1997 Introducing CATS REIGN - (David Miller) SDB 13" EM The standards and style arms are a dark pansy violet complimenting the velvety black plum falls. The falls are also rimmed with the standards color and touched with beards of light blue. A slight vanilla fragrance wafts from the 2 or 3 buds on 13" stalks. The overall effect is of dark purple and sparked the name by my daughter. I was at a loss for a name when I pulled the family to the yard for ideas. Hallie took one look and said, "either Purple Reign or Cats Reign", then turned and headed back to "other" priorities. Guess why "Cats Reign" and I'll give you one free. Seedling 88-3A Michael Paul X Little Bishop. $12.50. Long's Gardens.
