Type - TB
Name - Mesmerizer
Hybridizer & intro year - Monty Byers 1991
Description - 36" M. "White [hint of lavender in cool weather] with red beard
and huge, uplifting white flounces...the most beautiful flounces I've ever
seen."
Monty put out an early semi-catalog with the above description. I trusted his
judgement and ordered immediately. I was well rewarded. It is beautiful,
vigorous (our club has made over $100 from selling increases I have donated, and
last year I gave 22 more for our regional tour and had more than 30 left for a
bed of my own), floriferous (I have counted > 19 buds on "one" stalk--counting
the two secondary stalks), and is a good rebloomer.
Almost perfect.
Gerry, wishing there had been more spurias for our regional/spuria trek
