INTENSIFIER (Thomas Johnson ’26)

The standards are pure pristine white. Falls are a plush deep violet to near black with a light lavender band and then thinly etched in violet. Beards are orange with red tips. Really dramatic in the fields. Sdlg TN125A: Headline News X Smashing Sensation

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY (Thomas Johnson ’26)
TB 38” (97cm) Early-midseason-late
Sweet fragrance Ooh la la, this one is a stunner. I am not usually overtaken by yellow and white as the pattern has been done before but…. I simply cannot get enough of this, the form is impeccable, the stems and buds are first rate, and the clumps are like heaven! The color is so clean and clear and applied in such a way that it makes me want to just pull up a chair and sit and stare at it all day long. It is a recessive, or glaciata, or is it? If you tear down the flower and look deep in the heart you will see the smallest of short purple lines. Whatever the classification, it is certainly gorgeous and highly recommended.
