'Early Edition'
(from seedling lines involving Fairy Tale Pink and Carolyn Criswell)
From the very first, this little flirt proved irresistable. Its ceamy pink blooms are full, round and nicely ruffled. Of heavy substance, the color holds very well. Even on the hottest days here, while the color may frost a bit, there is no degredation of its beauty--even retaining the strong green throat. One of the other matters that has endeared this cultivar to us is that nearly every bloom is perfect--rather unusual for an early season bloomer. The blooms are well placed and open in a staggered fashion so as to allow for a very long bloom season. It is among the earliest of our minis to bloom, with only Stelle blooming earlier here. It has good bud count for a mini--up to 22 buds on each stout scape. Furthermore, scape height is in perfect proportion to the size of the clump. As such, it makes a perfect addition for the front of the bed or border. Foliage is a strong, bluish-green which holds well throughout the season. Both pod and pollen fertile, 'Early Edition' is giving some very fine offspring in both cream-to-pink and eyed varieties.
