Current nomenclature: Rlc. Mount Hood


Kay had two cultivars of his hybrid. The two photos from 1977 are likely the cultivar 'Glace Lavendre', of which she gave a division to "Sarah" (her identity unknown, but possibly she worked for Ben Bracey?) July 12, 1979 (KF VII / B / 5 / b). The later photos, from 1985, are probably 'Orchidglade', but Kay's records do not mention this cultivar.
