Hybridizer's Comment: Apricot-bisque standards with slight rose shading at midribs. Falls are rich velvety red purple with a lighter blended buff edge and the defining feature is the neatly displayed white "V" shape with some very straight purple lines running right through the shape. Form is horizontally flaring, rutfled and wide. Beards are muted tangerine. Branching is 0K. Colour is distinctive and bright. It has a musky perfume. |
