*NORDIC  MIST

*NORDIC MIST (Stamile,P.,1999) TET T-5352-B  [Glacier Bay X (Rhythm And Blues x Seminole Wind)]  26” MRe. Dor. fr. EMO.  6 1/2” x 3 3/4” x 2 3/4”.  3 - 4 way branching.    20 - 25 buds.  From RHYTHM AND BLUES, a lavender and SEMINOLE  WIND, a deep pink, I got a large white seedling.  The seedling didn’t have the bud count to introduce it but it did have size and color.  I crossed this 7 1/2” seedling to GLACIER BAY which was relatively small (5 1/2”) but did have the buds and branching.  The result was NORDIC MIST, which I call my “white Tetra Barbara Mitchell”.  This flower has all the voluptuousness of Tetra Barbara Mitchell but in a cream white.  Moreover, the tightly ruffled flower is edged in deep gold just adding to its beauty.  It’s like a dream fulfilled to get the size, petal width, color and edge all in one flower.  Moreover,  while most of the gold edged whites have been evergreen, this one is dormant.  I would say a dormant GLACIER BAY  but it really is a much different flower.  NORDIC MIST is pictured on the inside back cover and with Grace’s seedling T-95-35-B on the outside back cover.  Grace’s seedling is about 3” - to give you an idea of the relative size of NORDIC  MIST.  As you might expect, like BIG SUR  and GREAT WHITE, NORDIC  MIST has been a favorite among hybridizers.  A great flower for giving size and gold edges to the whites.  With almost 4” petals, NORDIC  MIST is the widest of my whites and passes on good form as well.  Super.  Fertile both ways……………………..$100.00
