From Superstition Iris Garden, 2019 - Don't confuse this name with your favorite Chinese Buffet restaurant! Very light blue, aging lighter, very pale maize glow at base of standard midribs and a few very light maize veins up midribs. Aster violet beards are yellow gold in the throat and contrast sharply with the brownish brick red signal that is more orangish brown at the sides. Short strong reddish brown lines extend from the signal. Can have up to 5 buds because many of the terminal sockets have 3 buds, which is very rare among arilbreds. $22.00.
