Satin Cloud flowered for us this year for the first time. It puts
even Slater's Elegance to shame. The florets are so shiny (satiny) it is
just truelly unreal. I think this has become my favorite white of all times.
The fragrance it sends out just heightends the experience. It allures us
to stay a hile longer and forget the lilacs around us!
