'White Autumn King', Sass 1935. My white has an ice-blue tint when you look closely at it and a faint aroma close to the nose but I would not identify it since it was found naturalized in a vacant area. Someone may have just dumped some trash at one time or another and it survived and multiplied. I have another of the type you seek but also it has no name yet. Very close to 'Copper Lustre'. The color in the pic is off by quite a bit from true due to my camera adding a rose tint in bright sunlight. The standards are more of a tan or light brown and the falls begin as a copper color changing to a darker brown about midway. |
