Is it futile to wish for a blue and yellow plicata? This is a step in that direction. Standards lavender blue with steely violet marginal suffusion and fine texturing, some cream ground color showing at base. Cream to light lemon falls with half-inch shaded and dotted edge of lavender blue on the margin, turning rosier and darker toward inner edge. Inconspicuous beards are lavender white and yellow.
