MY GAL (P. Black '21)
BB Midseason-Late 26” (66cm)
What a well-proportioned beauty ‘My Gal’ is! She’s a color that will turn heads. Full and tightly formed blooms are a rich medley of peach, pink, and apricot with big vivid orange beards to get everyone’s attention. She’s not shy and will give you 9-11 blossoms on show stalks with 3 branches and spur. Superb parent.

PHOTO SHOOT (T. Johnson ’19)

A super clean and sharp pattern really makes PHOTO SHOOT stand out with its pristine white ground and precise blue to violet dotting around both the standards and falls.

Super nice ruffled form completes the package. Not just another purple plicata!
