As I mentioned, Butterscotch Ruffles isn't the prettiest, but it is prolific. A couple of scapes last year had bud counts in the 40+ range. And it multiplies like rabbits.

Of course, it also has a certain sentimental value - I knew Wilbur Harling (its hybridizer) and his wife back in the 70s. Wilbur and the late Bill Munson were good friends, and the Harlings lived only a few blocks from the Munson family.
