MARY D. (Hamblen '88) was runner-up for the last-good-c1ump-in-bloom distinction. Average height, good branching, and two buds in nearly every socket. The smoky lavender pink standards contrast nicely with the strongly flared lavender blue falls. Beards are lavender blue at the end, changing toward the throat to cream, with hairs tipped orange red. [Keith Keppel, The Late Show. AIS Buletin #275(oct 1989), p.17]
