Hybridizer's comment: We have loved this from the first day it bloomed. Standards are amber yellow with a slight violet flush at the midribs. Falls are violet with ¼" blended beige-grey edge and olive yellow hafts, Beards are white tipped mustard yellow. Magical form with billowing ruffles and fluting. Super branching and is proving to be a great parent. lt s mostly from Keppel blood lines.
