From Fairmount Gardens, 1955: ANNE WICKERSHAM (Wickersham 1955) M. Fresh toned as a lavender-pink orchid, this self colored flower has a cool, crisp iridescence that is most attractive. The nearest hue in the Color Chart is Carmine Rose (621/3} but the blooms have a translucent flush around the pink beard that adds warmth and glow to the whole flower. The many firm textured lightly ruffled blooms have great charm and refinement and are evenly spaced on tall well branched stalks. A distinctive pink that was named for Mrs. Wickersham, and it is a most befitting tribute to this delightful lady. 39 in. $15.00
