...Vibert actually named already a first Gallica as 'Esther' : catalogue of 1819 (nr. 599) and following. It must have died out or was abandoned. This 'Esther' has 'Duchesse d'Oldenbourg' as a synonym. Then Vibert, according to his unfortunate habit, retook this name for a novelty of 1845, the current 'Esther', which he described in his catalogue of 1845 as : "medium, double, pink, mottled with wine-red".
