              Eyes of the Beloved 
                   (SF $25)
                 (Ansari
                    2012) C873A (Palace Garden
                    Beauty x Linda Sierra) Tet. Sev. EMRe. 28” scape,
                    5.5” flower, Rich orchid lavender petals, sky blue
                    eye and ruffled edge, easily fertile both ways,
                    3-way branching, BC 13-24. Puts up more scapes
                    immediately after initial scapes (instant rebloom).
                    Flowers open well and eyes often have some pattern
                    in our cooler climate (didn't in Missouri, but they
                    sure had blue eyes and edges there!). First photo is
                    by Kenny Minder in Kentucky, second photo by Michael
                    Bouman near St. Louis, exceptionally blue in 2012;
                    third photo by Kirsten Hatfield, Ohio; all used with
                    permission; other photos are mine.
