From AIS Bulletin #201 April 1971 Introducing LOVELY RIPPLES Sdlg. 1-67: Rippling Waters X Lovely Letty, V1L, M, TB, 34", HC '70, EC '70, Fertile both ways. This is a sister to Lilac Treat. Several judges have liked this better than Lilac Treat. I prefer the bloom on Lilac Treat over this one but this one does have better branching (4 way with spur), more buds (10 to 12), makes larger rhizomes and is more vigorous. I have some very nice seedlings out of this one; even got a rebloomer out of this one crossed with Lilac Treat. It is a lilac self with a red beard and makes a nice show stalk. Since it increases all over the place, I can introduce it at $15.00. Cape Iris Gardens. |
