From Tempo Two catalog, 2014: WICKED ROMEO (Blyth 2014 Aust) EM 36”. A unique colour pattern for us and quite entrancing. The standards are honey peach to light caramel and the falls are purple, lightening at the centre and show a lighter edge. There is a darker line running down the falls. The fall reverse is grey and shows prettily with the ruffles. Beards are purple tipped bronze. Flowers are beautifully ruffled and well balanced. Plenty of buds with show branching. Fertile but hardly used in crosses. (Another Woman X Treasure Trader). Sdlg No. S263-B. $50.00.
