According to Nancy Wilson, miniatures expert from California,’Tête-à-Tête’ was named as a joke on Mr. Tait. Frank Waley, who was there when it was named, said it was named by Mr. Tait’s friend. Mr. Tait bred early miniatures and bred two of his to produce this one. It was never meant to refer to one or two flowers per stem. The name is French for “head to head”.
