  • Posted by jmorth (central Illinois) on Apr 17, 2015 10:19 PM concerning plant:
    Golden Echo was bred by Brent Heath of Brent and Becky's Bulbs. They have this to say about it:

    "One of our own seedlings, longer than usual golden yellow cup melts down on its creamy white petals, a strong grower; wonderfully fragrant and great in pots; one of the longest lasting in bloom; mid-spring, 12 - 16" ."

    Winner of the ADS Wister Award, given to good growing cultivars, w/ many blooms, and terrific performers under various climatic conditions. Cultivars so awarded are considered show quality, though the emphasis is on garden performance.
