THORNBIRD

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)

Light brown standards and copper-yellow falls with orange-coloured beards. Warm flowers, medium-sized but in proportion to the leaves, semi-horizontal falls with delicately crimped edges.

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.
