Unique, very large, heavily ruffled creamy pink self with lavender plicata spots on either side of the light tangerine beard. Widely branched stems carry many buds. Very fine! Fertile both ways. $25.00. Moldovan's Gardens.
A very delicate pink plicata-nearly white ground surrounded ever so lightly with pale pink plicata markings-is GRECIAN GOWN (Moldovan '72). Here is another good grower, a quite feminine flower, and certainly worthy of attention in the uncrowded pink plicata class.
