From Tempo Two catalog, 2014: GATHERING GOLD (Blyth 2014 Aust) EM 33”. This was a favourite from the day it first opened. Basically lemon yellow with heavy flushing of rose-violet rising up from the base of thelstandards. There is a light rose violet flush at the hafts. Beards are orange over white. We like the wide form and the akimbo effect of the standards. Lovely grower and a fun parent. ((P125-1:(N37-5: Lunch In Madrid sib) x (N196-2: Air Of Mystery sib)) X (S213-1: Peal Of Bells sib). Sdlg No.U349-1.$50.00. |
