From Melrose Iris Catalog for 1981: LAMIA (Hager ’81) Novelty 32” Midseason Sdg. SP3091GyOc; (Angel Unawares x Spooned Blaze) XSib. Cute! A very feminine flower with her ruffled petals,and pastel pearl-grey lavendercolors — but she’s got HORNS. Albeit, they end in small round spoons, a typical feminine decoration.The flowers are smaller in keeping with the shorter stems which are very well branched and budded. (((Don’t tell her,but a LAMIA is a female demon — shhh.))) 15.00
