References

From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2010: PRIVATE EYE: (T.Johnson ‘10) TB Early-Midseason 35” (89cm.) What makes this Private Eye so special? Without a doubt, it is the big, plush, near black beards. They are amazing! Palest orchid white standards are infused slightly darker at bases. Styles are an interesting mango flesh with slate violet stripes. Rich, plush dark burgundy falls have a hint of dark chocolate washed over them and become a little lighter and iridescent around those incredible dark beards. Nicely branched stalks have 7-9 buds. Rapid increaser. Interesting parent for uniquely colored beards. Sdlg. TY98A: Guatemala sib X Starring. $55.00.
