HERE COMES THE SUN

Light and glistening havana brown infused golden yellow beside gold beards. Dykes French Medal in 1931.

Is distinguished from all other blacks by its long cream beard (yellow at the heart) which creates a remarkable contrast with the velvety black of the falls. Purple black standards. Moderately wavy, 6 to 7 buds per stem, distributed over three beautiful branched stems. (Schreiner 2009).

Another direct descendant of "Ravissant", full of freshness and possessing great qualities. Pure white standards with touch of lavender on their edges, wide white falls with a crisp amethyst border, 1.5 cm to 2 cm wide. Coral-coloured beards. Nicely shaped, plentiful flowers, gracefully and subtly ruffled. Like its parent, it has perfect branching and multiplies up very well.

White standards, white falls lined with closely spaced purple veins going from beard to edge and bordered with a narrow white rim. White beards tipped orange. Border bearded variety. (Black 2006)

Dark apricot standards and nearly horizontal reddish orange falls randomly veined with a creamy yellow. Tangerine beards. Although moderate in size, the flowers are most attractive.

No doubt the best bluish purple Plicata on a white background. Both standards and falls are neatly bordered. Beards are a light lavender.  A very strong plant yielding up to 4 stalks per rhizome, each carrying 9 buds. Perfect shape.
