Hybridizer's Comment : A real mix of colours here that are hard to put into words but the picture helps a lot. Standards are blended peach to apricot coffee. Falls are soft lavender violet with 3/8" edge of mushroom and soft burgundy hafts coming part way around the fall and tending to apricot beside the beards. There is a large creamy white outburst in the centre of the falls below vivid tangerine beards. Wide, flared and ruffled with some show stems. Fertile. Sister to 'Café Viva'.
