NUIT SATINEE

Creamy white ruffled standards, their edges tinted very pale lavender. Nearly horizontal falls with a beautiful wide amethyst border (approx 1.5 cm). Orange beards with bright yellow shoulders right along to their ends: a really illuminated centre to the flower which gives it a joyful and innovative character. Strong-bodied, good foliage and excellent branching.

A good French-American cross: 'Irisades' x 'Calypso Beat'. Standards of a light butter-yellow, wide, nearly horizontal falls of a purple somewhere between mid-tones of aubergine and velvety claret-red, turning somewhat lighter towards the yellowy-orange beards. A clear contrast. Gorgeous ruffled edges and a strong stem.(brother to our 'Si Tendre' new variety)

We crossed two Dykes Medal winners ("Edith Wolford" and "Honky Tonk Blues") to get this magnificent and waved bicolor. Clear butter yellow standards and cool bluish lavender falls with almost invisible beards. For us, it is one of the best blue and yellow bicolors.
