Hybridizer's Comment: Standards are honey apricot and falls are a very soft rosy-violet with a deeper violet "v' shaped blaze below the beard extending down to the base of the falls. Beards are tangerine. Huge blooms are ruffled, wide, lilting and fluted and super show branching. Strong grower and has a lovely sweet perfume. |
