Hybridizer's Comment: The standards are champagne to beige with an all over flush of light violet, deepening at the midribs. Falls are cream with a wide band of blended creamy lemon. Beards are soft tangerine. Petals are ruffled and very heavily pleated. Huge flowers on good stems that may not be show quality, but are excellent for a great display. |
