The Final Analysis. 1970-71 Season.
Lady Sunshine. (syn. 'Mary Poppins'). 5.1. Less and less growers have retained this and this season's ratings were all CD and D. The blooms are magnificent and well shaped but is three a year enough? And that was a good year. Unfortunately the growth did not match the blooms. Could this have been incompatibility with the stock?
