Hybridizer's Comment: Standards are of pastel creamy peach. Falls are pastel pink with a delightful lavender cast and highlighted with light tan hafts and a creamy peach wire edge. Flowers are ruffled to lace with beards of tangerine orange. Form is so lovely with near horizontal falls and wide overlapping hafts. Branching is a bit tight for show stems but the form : "Oh yes"! |
