Book Description
Excerpt from Bessie Boston, 1927 This is a Mariposa in a decorative form. The first. flowers were a pinkish lavender and we won dered if it would be pink in the East, for while Mariposa is usually pink with us, customers in the East write us, it is lavender. We have bushes which bear only pink flowers and some bushes which carry flowers of the lavender tones. Beau Ideal was distinctly lavender at first and then pink flowers began to develop. At the time of this writing, the middle of October, the plants are laden with great big flowers of both colors. The two colors blend harmoniously. The bushes grow tall and luxuriantly, and from early season, produce masses of long stemmed, immense blooms. This 18 one of the varieties which helped us win the prize for undisseminated seedlings two years before we are marketing it, and it was called by people who saw it, the decorative Mariposa. The lavender blooms soften to white, shaded lavender at the centre, and the pink flowers show a deeper pink at the centre. Stems are long and stiff and carry the flowers out of the foliage.
