*FRENCH CONFECTION (sdlg, # Reg
Braid Pearl 8-4) tet, REGAL BRAID X PEARL HARBOR, EV, recurrent, 5" flower,
26" scape, early mid season. 22 buds, 3 way branching. Quite a striking
flower. A deeply ruffled, pinched, and pleated edge, with antique gold
trim, surrounds the petals. Smooth substance holds well in the sun. Unusual
color -- a kind of rosy deep lavender, becoming softer as the afternoon
progresses.
