BOLD ENCOUNTER

Excellent variety  with buff standards infused violet-lavender on their midribs and velvety mahogany-red falls. Golden yellow beards. Excellent stems, increases very fast.

Buff-coloured standards with a hint of peach. Falls with a white background edged in the same colour as the standards but peppered light brown to cinnamon. Red-orange beards prolonged with a fine cinnamon toned line. Stands tall with ruffled flowers.

This new and luscious combination carries numerous elegantly ruffled flowers (11 on average) which feature medium-sized standards. The nearly horizontals falls of amaranth, with borders which turn to a light pink copper tone, are nicely echoed by bronze-coloured beards. We are pleased to have named this exquisite variety in memory of Madame Tardivier, former director of the Jardins des Tuileries at the Louvre.

Clear yellow standards turning to white on edges. Almost horizontal falls , white with a wide purple pink border (12 to 15 mm). Orange yellow beards.

Imposing and elegant pure white widely ruffled. Discreet ivory beards. Excellent stems with often 4 flowers blooming at the same time. 4th prize at the international competition of Florence in 1997.

Unusual combination of colours : pink standards toned lavender and mid violet falls . The bright orange beards lighten the large and rounded falls. Moderately ruffled. (Schreiner 2014)
