This is presumed to be one of the Saunders seedlings sent by Silvia Saunders to Keith and Peggy Goldsmith of Edmonds, Washington and then on to Alfred Mantaga and Dwight Waitman of A & D Nursery (now owned by Don Smetana and Keith Abel) who registered it. \u00a0Named ‘Lovebirds’ for the way in which the two carpals bend toward each other.\u00a0 Sidebuds provide a lengthier bloom season. Foliage is very attractive.<\/span><\/p>\n
