Hybridizer's comment: This has proved to be a good parent for us. The standards are cream with a pastel olive green flush deepening at the midribs. Falls are lavender-blue, lightening towards the edge and an olive-green flush around the strangely muted yellow-cream beards. Apart from being a good parent it was show stems and makes a great display in the garden.
