From Tempo Two catalog, 2015: MILK IN MY COFFEE (Blyth 2015 Aust) VE 36”. One of the first to bloom each season and for us, the best brown amoena we have seen. Standards are white with a faint olive flush at the lower part of the midribs. The falls are midbrown, lightening slightly in the centre after the second day. Beards are mustard yellow. Some show stems. Quite fertile but mostly untried as a parent. A different colour in the early part of the season. Striking! It has rebloomed on occasions.
