ESCLARMONDE

Upright, light mahogany standards, broad, buttery yellow falls under the copper-orange beards, edged and stippled with coppery red. Fine midline in mahogany. Superb shape, numerous flowers bordered by small frills. Good branching. (Black 2011)

Creamy white standards infused with yellow, falls with a soft yellow centre and wide amethyst border diffusing towards the centre. Orange yellow beards. Large, wavy flowers, very well branched stems and 8 to 9 buds on average. (Cayeux 10 440A seedling).

Variations of yellow for this direct descendant of 'Terre de Savane' which was introduced in 2015. Pale yellow standards infused with purple at their base, large amber yellow falls with an orange beard. The stems branch out low with 9 buds on average. Abundant flowering.

Perfection in lavender-white tones. Silverado's broad, well sculpted flowers are harmoniously ruffled and the tall sturdy stems display 8 to 9 buds.

Belongs to the category of "miniature tall beardeds", a sort of bonsai but quite beautiful. Pure white standards and purple to black falls with a fine white border. The yellow beards are surround by purplish black striations. Most interesting!

Is distinguished from all other blacks by its long cream beard (yellow at the heart) which creates a remarkable contrast with the velvety black of the falls. Purple black standards. Moderately wavy, 6 to 7 buds per stem, distributed over three beautiful branched stems. (Schreiner 2009).
