From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2012: (Black ‘12) FIRE AND ICE. TB Early-Late 40” (102 cm). Ruffled icy white blooms appear as elegant ice carvings set ablaze by fiery red-orange beards. Precisely branched show stalks have 3 branches and spur with 9-10 buds. It easily opens 3 flowers at once making it a great contender for 'Queen Of Show'. Husky plants help insure the stalks won't find a home on the ground. Sdlg. O15XX: Cloud Berry X Bliss Bomb. $50.00. |
