From Fleur De Lis catalog, 1956: COTTON CANDY (Sass 1953) M. L. 36 in.(((The Red Douglas x P. Sunset) x Amenti x ?) x P. Sunset)) x (F. Zenor x Hall Flamingo Pink). A pure, smooth shell pink self, the color of this seems to come from the very depths of the petals, giving the whole flower a glowing effect. A deep pink beard and broad rounded petals as well as a flaring horizontal form are added assets. One you are sure to like and one that is a fine parent. 2.00
