| From AIS Bulletin #285 April 1992 Introducing BE A DREAM (Niswonger '92) Sdlg. TB 77-89: Coral Light X 47-83: (Premonition x Coral Beauty). TB, 35", Mid. to Late. This warm white with golden hafts should do well on the show bench as well as in the garden. It is nicely branched and has ripples in the falls around the beards. When considered altogether with the ruffled falls, it has a very nice personality. It should be a good breeder for pink amoenas and interesting bicolors. EC '91. $35.00. Cape Iris. |
