From Keppel Iris catalog, 2011: PRETTY KITTY VL 34" (Kitty Kay X Vienna Waltz) Medium-sized heavily fluted and ruffled clear peach pink, the slightly creamier falls paling toward the center. Harmonious beards are soft coral pink on the end, firecracker red peeking out from the throat. Flared, with integrity of form guaranteed by heavy substance. Growth habits better than mama Kitty. One of the very last to bloom, this is a well-branched time-extender for those who hate to see the season end. #00-238S. $40.00; 3 for $100.00.
