From AIS Bulletin #181 April 1966. Introducing DIPLOMACY EM 32" Rococo X Whole Cloth. A neglecta out to win friends. Extreme floriferousness for the gardener, wellbranched stalks for the exhibitor, and an interesting pedigree for the hybridizer. Light violet blue standards, medium aster violet falls, flared and lightly ruffled. Hafts unveined, a small pale area near the beard being the only indication of plicata blood. Vigorous grower, lots of buds, several stalks per rhizome. Pollen fertile. $25.00. Keith Keppel.
