A MOMENT IN TIME
(Faye O. Shooter, 2002)

30 M-ML Re Fr SE. # 95-6045 [Seedling X SHADOW WARRIOR]. 6-2 3/4 - 2. Tetraploid.

This tantalizing combination of pink, blue and magenta demands a second look. The large, full, triangular blooms are a blend of pink and flesh with baby pink veins. A round blue lavender washed eye outlined in magenta glimmers above a pastel lemon center and a light green heart. Contrasting edges begin as magenta, change to lavender-blue, then to cream and end with a gold bubble on the tips. Sepals boast a deeper pink shading in ruffles highlighted by a cream edge. Pale pink midribs. All segments flare with tips recurving. Blooms are very ruffled with both gathered and looping ruffles. Sepals have tiny gathered ruffles. Velvety texture, excellent substance. Superb five-way branching carries 25-28 buds.
