Hybridizer's Comment: Could be called a fancy plicata with purple violet standards with faint white blush at midribs. Falls are deeper purple violet to violet black with some white veining below the beards and spraying out over the falls. There is a deeper line down the centre of the falls. Beards are muted bronze. Nice ruffled full form on show stems. Fertility untried. |
