    98 ML 28 SE
    ((HARRIS 109:GENTLEMAN LOU x MATT) x (MUNSON CT 98R RSWM: (CT 98-72 MOLDOVAN-BARRERE: (INDUCED KWAN YIN x DREAM MIST) x INDUCED ROBERT WAY SCHLUMP x MAGNIFIQUE)))) x KATHLEEN SALTER
    In accordance to my ‘prime directive;’ that form must follow function—plant habit and performance come first—BE HERE NOW achieves a new level of excellence. In the spirit of SUPREME EMPIRE and FEELING GROOVY, this cultivar has earned a greater respect each consecutive season, and is possibly my finest yellow thus far. Exceptionally well finished, BE HERE NOW displays a very symmetrical and formal presentation. Wide, full and rounded, this gently reflexed and gracefully ruffled cultivar truly appears sculptured. The very smooth and heavy wax-like substance, combined with the outstanding opening characteristics provide real class and distinction. The color is a soft mellow yellow through pale ivory with a small green heart. The large flat 6" flowers appear to be placed like salad plates on the stout five and six-way branched scapes, while the overall balance helps to create one of the finest plants in the garden. Offering the patient hybridizer an exceptional tool to incorporate both performance and beauty, this rather long winded yet fascinating pedigree involves the evergreen lines of MacMillan, Munson and Salter and the dormant lines of Whatley, Harris and Moldovan. BE HERE NOW is only moderately fertile, yet important enough to warrant the extra effort. HM 05
