It is a chocolate brown amoena. Standards are creamy white; falls are chocolate brown changing to bronze after a couple of days. Beards are deep brown. Form is excellent, wide, ruffled and full with high bud count, often up to 1O buds. It is also proving to be an exciting parent with lots of unexplored potential.
