Hybridizer's Comment: This has been an absolute delight since its maiden bloom and the meaning of the name Limerence is a coined word for that feeling one gets when you first fall in love. Standards are opal pink with some mauve infusion at the midribs and the falls are a layered soft lilac, lightening towards the centre of the falls. Beards are vivid caterpillars of tangerine. Strong stems with huge ruffled blooms. Fertile but not easy. This is gorgeous and our Limerence for it still lasts after 5 seasons. |
