| From Fleur de Lis Gardens catalog 1956: JUNE MEREDITH (Muhl. 1954) M. L. 36 in. (Party Dress x Pink Fulfillment). A complete self of very rich, deep pink with a heavy tangerine beard. Flowers are quite large with broad petals and have excellent form and substance. As I have seen and grown them this is my personal choice of the fine Muhlestein pinks. H. M. 1954. 25.00. | |
| From Rainbow Hybridizing Gardens catalog 1963: JUNE MEREDITH (Muhlestein '54) ML-36". My favorite! Believed to be pinkest flamingo to date, acclaimed by many for depth & purity of color.
