References

From Cayeux website: "Agréable rapport entre les pétales rose vif à peine fumé et les sépales lavande soutenu ou violet clair portant de très vives barbes rouges. Dans le style de "French-Cancan", son père, mais d'une intensité bien différente. Fleurs peu ondulées, bien formées et 8 boutons par tige."
See: IRIS et BULBEUSES n°153-154, 2005, p. 8.
