Exemplary stalks with 4 branches and an average of 9 buds. Multiplies up fast.

Waved flowers delicately laced on the edges. Mauve tinted when it opens, it becomes immaculate white a few hours later. Nice tangerine beards and 8 to 10 buds.

Sister to "Belgian Princess"! Amethyst standards, darker in the center and orchid pink falls turning pinkish white toward the heart. Tangerine beards. Perfect stalks with 3 branches and 8 to9 buds. 3 lavishly ruffled flowers often open at the same time.

Very charming purplish pink with wide rounded falls decorated with fat tangerine beards. A sensual colour agreeably complemented by the entire flower sporting a lacy edging. Bred from the excellent pink "Happenstance", it has kept the same stalks qualities and a rapid growth.

Pale pink standards discretely edged with pale lavender, mid-violet falls with a central creamy-white line. Tangerine beards surrounded with white. "Garnement" is the brother of "Irisades" which was introduced in 2008 and has a similar very modern shape with firm, almost horizontal falls. Sturdy stems carrying an average of 8 buds.

Long flowering for this sympathetic pink. Medium to light pink standards, pink falls slightly tinted amber on edges. Mandarin-red beards. Lightly ruffled and pronounced sweet Fragrance. Flowers sometimes twice a year . (Lauer 2006)
