From AIS Bulletin #281 April 1991 Introducing STARLIT VELVET (Stahly '91) TB, 36", M. A pleasingly different "black" is this velvety flower of very deep purple (charts RHS 79A, but deeper). A small, attractive white spray pattern around the beard belies its plicata heritage. Self beards. Semi-flared, blocky and ruffled, primary stalks have four branches and terminal and up to 12 buds. Has attracted lots of attention at two shows where it was entered. Sdlg. 86-6: Night Lady X Spinning Wheel. EC '89, '90; HC '90. $30.00. Harold Stahly. |
