From AIS Bulletin #181 April 1966 Introducing LOVELY AGAIN (R. Smith) E & RE 36" (Rundlett sdlg. x sib. to August Gold). Far the most exciting remontant for cold climates! It will rebloom as early as July and every rhizome reblooms, yet the plant gives lots of increase. A smooth orchid-lavender of ample size and lovely form. Very fertile; proven parent of remontants. $40.00. Avonbank Gardens.
