AIR D'ETE

A good son of the variety "Caliph". Medium brown standards and lighter orange-brown falls, paler below the deep gold beards. Rich colour, excellent garden value.

Dazzling golden yellow or cadmium yellow. Golden yellow beards with thin red-brown streaks around them. Very elegant flowers and long flowering season.

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)

Brother to 'Attirance' and just as enticing with its lovely plain purplish lavender tone. The shape is exquisite with strongly ruffled falls. Beards are tipped in pale lavender. Average 9-10 buds per stem.
