Silverlake, I think you are referring to the 'Corsage' that Brian Bergman posted about 3 weeks ago on Facebook. The background he gave was he had bought an OBF/Milridge original back in the early 1970's and then obtained another bulb sometime around the early 1990's; this time as best he recalls, it may have come from Don Egger, Chief Hybridizer and Manager of Cebeco, USA. He seemed to think that there may have been a 'Corsage, type II'. and was looking for more information. Don Egger died in 2000 and Cebeco went out of business in the mid 1990's. A couple of us who have a lot of historical stuff have been looking through some old printed material for more information but nothing yet, but not done looking yet either. The photo of Brian Bergman's 'Corsage' is more of a pink-lavender that the original pink developed and registered by OBF back in the 1960's, so it could well be that Don Egger did some more work with it--but we may never find out for sure, because Don Egger was very private and secretive about his work. So if you like the 'Corsage' in the picture, you can contact Brian Bergman and ask about getting a start. If you need his contact info, advise me by Tree Mail and I'll help. If you like the overall appearance and plant type of 'Corsage' you may also like others within a rather large Group called Harlequins which 'Corsage' was selected from. A very colorful Group.
