Hybridizer's Comment: 'Parting Glances' establishes healthy clumps full of kaleidescopic flowers. The accent is on color! Old gold standards are rouged violet to plum up centers. Styles are old gold. White area around old gold beards is heavily washed lilac, blending to wide dark wine bands. Plenty of buds and branches.
