Curt Hanson's Crintonic Garden Catalog said: AEGEAN WIND
06 ML 36 SE UF
(Tidal Pool / Shadow Dream Song) X (Catch My Fall / Antillanca Sky)
As though born of the cool offshore breezes, Aegean Wind serenely floats over the garden like an ethereal zephyr. These graceful 7" kite-like and crispate blossoms are extremely flat with simple triangular petals and quilled sepals. The soft pale orchid colour is gently imprinted with a large cream watermark, which in turn merges imperceptibly into a radiating lime-green throat. Cream sepals match the watermark to create a bi-tone effect. The slender 36" scapes hold these airy flowers directly above the foliage on three-way branching. The understated synergy of delicate colour and form make Aegean Wind an outstanding landscape specimen. Pollen fertile but difficult pod parent.
