Re: Descriptions please

To Sing7178,

I have catalogs from Cooley's and Schreiners, and have come up with most of
the descriptions you wanted.

Large ruffled flowers have clear, lemon-yellow standards and brilliant, clean
white falls with a definite border of lemon-yellow.  Yellow beards.
 Wonderful form, substance and width.  Seven buds on three branches.  

Marriage Vows:  ML. 38"
Oyster cream standards are tinted lavender near their edges with a beige
infused center.  Falls are lavender, paler around beard, with beige on the
hafts.  Pale blue-white beards. HM'89

identical hue.  Well spaced branching, nine buds.  HM'83; AM'86

Maleguena:  EL. 40"
