- Lovely waviness along the falls
- For many years an elusive goal was to create a
white Reticulata. In the 1970s
William van Eeden came up with the pale blue Natascha; in a sense a poor
man's white. We now have the
beautiful White Caucasus. Does it
make sense to introduce a pale blue?
I think the truth is this is a lovely Reticulata, and especially so
because of its wavy form.
- Similar to, but not the same as, 99-VR-2
