In 1973, Hybridizer Larry Gaulter endorsed this lovely light blue-orchid self as his finest seedling. We agree! Mary Frances has a delicate, alluring quality with white beards lightly touched with yellow, and white-centered falls. The standards close gently into a round wavy top. Mary Frances has a long bloom season. May have a slight scent. Honorable Mention 1974, Award of Merit 1976, Dykes Medal 1979
