BORDEAUX BEAUTY
(Faye O. Shooter, 2002)

30 M Re Fr SE. # 95-0614 [Seedling X NEBO]. 6-3-1 3/4 . Tetraploid.

Bottoms up. This sparkling burgundy wine charmer reminds you of a fine French wine-clear, sparkling, delicious. A lavender-pink watermark and a 2 1/2" light straw yellow center tinged green add to the desirability of this flower. Black veins and a silver cream edge on the sepals and half-way out from throat on petals add subtle accents. Red stamen. Form is full triangular with all tips recurving. Very ruffled petals and sepals. Ruffles are gathered and wavy. Velvety texture, ribbed look, excellent substance. Red diamond dusting. Three-way branching with 18-20 buds.
