From AIS Bulletin #177, April 1965. Introducing LEDA KNIGHT (Georgia Hinkle 1965) N-28-1 Each $25.00 Net. 30" M. A new approach in form that is refreshingly different! The dark richness (aconite violet-Wilson's Colour Chart, 937/1) of the intense ruffling is enhanced by the sooty black which centers both petals and falls. The deeply ruffled standards never fully open, but remain loosely furled and pointed upward and outward. Semiflaring falls are wide and ruffled as a tea apron trimmed with a blue-violet beard that is extremely heavy. Flowers never completely fold up due to their unusual substance. HC 1963. Parentage: Sable Night x L-15-1 (Symphony x Demetria). Gilbert Wild.
