Brothers:

ML 5x3' F Semi-Dbl . Of all the new selections from China, this is perhaps the most intriguing I have observed. Starting at the base with a deep dark purple flair, and radiating out in shades of pale lavender to peach fading to a lovely pale pink and cream. Large 8" and very full semi-double of flat form. Vigorous, but slow to get started reflecting its P. rockii lineage. A classic beauty.
