There is nothing just like this amethyst blend, which was named for the ancient Tibetian temple, Jewel Box of Lhasa. The standards are medium amethyst with a golden brown border. Upon opening, they reveal cadmium blended orange stylearms the second day. The deep amethyst, ruffled falls are outlined with a brown border. Orange beard. Admired in Region 21, where it has gathered three HCs. Fertile both ways %25.00. John Griffin.
