PROUD HERITAGE (Olson '73) was one of the first whites to bloom and I was really taken by surprise: it is a large flower with
personality, which is a difficult quality to describe. To say that the standards are perfectly held in place over ruffled and flaring falls is accurate, but it doesn't completely convey the message. A one year plant produced one healthy bloom stalk with seven buds, all timed well. Proving to be a good grower, this is a new white that really earns its place in the garden.
