Hybridizer's Comment: Brassy tan standards infused slate violet up midribs. Mid violet blue falls with brassy tan bands and white luminata patches. Soft light marigold to white beards are a pleasant accent. Short raised white dart at end of beards indicates possibility of horns. Awarded "Best Seedling" at Median Convention in Oklahoma City, 2010. Unique and beautiful luminata. Fantastic parent giving plicatas with unusual colors and patterns.
