Rima inquired about the SDBs SKYRAY and SMART:
>I've never seen either. What do they look like, particularly the
>colors.
Taken from the Superstition cat.:
SKYRAY (Tasco '96) Light lavender blue S; white F stippled and
lined darker lavender blue; white B, tangerine red in throat.
It is a dainty and eye-catching because of the white falls and
the blue lines running throughout. Until I read the description
tonite, I would have said the F were blue and had white lines. :)
Anyway, it is a fine looking SDB.
Taken from the Median Checklist:
SMART (S. Innerst '91) 13", 33 cm (mine is 9 1/2") M. Red violet,
purple spot on F.; blue beard; slight fragrance.
This description doesn't do it justice....the deep purple spot
is large and the lighter red violet appears to be a rim around the
falls. Looks like velvet and is lovely. I don't get down and smell
the little ones anymore...after my neighbor caught me lying down
inching around like a snake..this is right after I was coaxing a
bumblebee to land on two freshly opened irises (he didn't). She
wandered over at 8:00 when I was having the conversation with the
bee.
Cheers,
Ellen
