DATING A ROYAL

A vigorous and seductive yellow amoena. Lightly ruffled white standards and broadly ruffled falls finely shaded with butter yellow. Lemon beard. Strong, well branched with abundant flowering.

A tall and most elegant son of 'Paul Black' and 'Saturn'. Bright, medium-purple standards and dark purple, almost black falls. Thick orange-red beards stand out against the black falls. 3 to 4 branches carrying on average 10-12 buds. Spectacular and robust!

Faïence de Gien's excellent seedling brother is very elegant but taller. Its exceptional lower branching stalks carry 7 to 8 buds. It features milk-white standards whilst the very wide white falls have lovely violet and purplish black borders (over 2 cm) and are veined with fine lines of the same colour which run parallel to the golden yellow beards.

Here is the superb descendant of our excellent "Noctambule". Yellow standards with slightly amber edges stand above the plum-violet falls with their orange beards framed of bright-yellow, which creates a lively and vivid effect. The magnificent low branching stalks carry an average of 8 buds.

Light blue standards, deeper in center ; near-white falls gentian-blue wash on midline . Yellow orange beards, pale violet at base, ending with a short bluebird blue horn. Ruffled and very vigorous.

White standards infused with golden yellow at the base, lemon yellow falls with a white area below the bright lemon yellow beard. Superb stems with 3 "branches" carrying 11 to 13 buds on average. Healthy foliage and very prolific. Ideal plant for the garden, lovely soft colour.
