*TAOS (Stamile,P) TET  5119-C         [(( Ming Porcelain x Crush On You) x ((Artic Snow x Tetra Gentle Shepherd) x Tetra Monica Marie)) X Shimmering Elegance]  24” EMRe. Dor. fr.ext. EMO.  6” x 3¼”  x 2¼”.  3 way branching. 20-25 buds.  The color in the photo of  TAOS  is not quite right.  The flower in the garden is paler.  It is a pale pastel cream with a pink blush.  Think the color of a pearl and it will be close to the real color.  I can’t say whether it is the beautiful form, heavy substance, pale pearlescent glow or deep Kelly green throat  but there is something about this flower that makes it special to me.  I have used it back into the pinks and whites from which it came.  The seedlings from it have been extremely vigorous and I am anxious to see what TAOS will produce next year.  A fascinating cultivar with an unusual pedigree for both pink and white breeding.  As a pastel, I think it could be used with any color to improve clarity and form.  Fertile and an easy parent both ways.  Simply beautiful………………...$100.00
