Medium pink S.; pink-white F. with beige pink hafts; red-orange beard changing to electric violet toward short fuzzy amethyst horns. Won Best Seedling at our local show in '87. Had four flowers open at once on a perfect stalk! Everyone loves this! What a vision of loveliness it truly is! A very good performer here and it's bred to perform the same everywhere. If it does it will go straight to the top! The beard/horn combo is riveting! $35.00. |
