JUST BEFORE DAWN

Pale copper standards with rippled and gently crinkled edges, falls of the same colour but clearly lighter which are also rippled and crinkled to frame an orange beard. A magnificent stem, with low branches, very large flowers and plenty of buds: between 10 and 11 on average. One of the last to flower.

Pale pink standards and pinkish white falls which are amply veined with magenta, yielding an intense pink effect. Beards are of a soft yellow. Graceful flowers.

Standards have an orange background with hints of caramel; yellowish orange falls with wide brownish red striping, intensified around the orange beards. A very colourful and brilliant flower.
