Hybridizer's Comment: Standards are soft icy lilac and the falls are rich royal violet with 1/8" edge of standard colour and a well defined white spray pattern each side of the beards. Beards are rusty tangerine over purple. Spectacular in a clump, excellent show branching and a good grower. It has a nice sweet perfume and is fertile.
