The falls are a little darker with more brown (Wilson 08R2/2) having a light strip from the tip of the beard down the falls. The beard is a bright bluebird blue (Wilson 042/2). Beautifully formed, small and dainty, with flaring falls and domed standards. The colors are that of Mexico. The flower has much charm, and the Spanish name "charm" is Encanto.
