Rio Rita 
Exhibition ruffled orange. Rio Rita is a Picardy X Phitzer’s Tr. Seed- 
ling and from Picardy has inherited the abilty to make a good show spike. 
Can easily hold 8 open on 22 to 24 inch flower head. The 5 to 54%” and 
larger florets have good substance and texture and are ruffled. We had 
spikes in the house over ten days in good condition. Even if cut in tight 
bud they open large flowers to the very last tip bud. Blooms in around 95 
days but is a slow opener, so allow several days for cut spikes to reach it’s 
rime.
