AUTUMN CIRCUS

If you liked "Badlands" and "Black Suited", you will no-doubt also be attracted to their slightly lighter-coloured but taller offspring, with its violet-leaning-towards-black standards of glistening satin. Plentifully branched stalks gracefully carry 9 or so superbly shaped ruffled flowers... A "full house", wouldn't you say?

An exquisite new variety: apricot-orange standards and creamy falls infused and edged with apricot. Bright tangerine beards. Much laced and flowers of perfect shape. Something very different and very new!

Indeed, slightly mysterious: strongly ruffled standards, yellow to light brown, amply washed with light purplish violet; wide, lemony white falls with a soft yellow border and dandelion yellow beards. Stems from 'Crowned Heads', a Dykes medalist.

Quite innovative in this range: purplish violet standards with lacy edges, falls slightly bolder with a narrow bronze border, old gold beards set against a small white background which lights up the whole flower. Descendant of "Serene Moment". Interesting and late-flowering.

Magnificent offspring of our champion "Ravissant". Totally pure white standards and large pinkish purple falls with a large white heart, contrasting against the orange-yellow beards. Moderate ruffles, excellent branching. Pure, crisp colours. A very decorative flower.

Soft yellow standards slightly amber at their tips, falls bearing a big white centre edged with amethyst pink. Orange-yellow beards edged with the same yellow as the standards. Medium-sized flowers, well balanced and waved. A bright, cheerful colour combination.
