| *SAILING AT DAWN -- (Gavin Petit) [(Big Blue x Mrs. John Cooper) (Lavender Blue Baby)] Sev. 6” fl. 26” sc. M 45 buds. Sailing At Dawn has rich, plum colored flowers with a large grape violet eye. The petal edges carry a wide matching picotee with a very ruffled bubbly gold to white edge. At the center of the flower is a green throat. This flower takes the blue eyed genes and combines them with the size, large eye and wide edge of Gavin Petit. The result is a major movement toward extending the blue violet colors to cover most of the petal surface. It has produced blue eyed, edged seedlings with little petal self color left. A great flower, grand parent, and a show stopper in the garden. |
