MILES AHEAD

Relatively moderate-sized flowers that have a compact shape and exceptional ruffling, dark blackish purple falls and lighter reddish purple standards. Black beards. Good growth.

Bright and attractive combination: pure yellow standards on light purple falls tinted anilin and decorated with a narrow bronze rim. Orange-yellow beards edged with bronze. Medium-sized flowers and good count of buds.

Wonderfully shaped, amply ruffled pinkish lavender. Wide falls, slightly paler toward the centre. Beards are tangerine toward red. A classic tone but with a quality finishing. Really a useful tone in our gardens! (Cayeux seedling 10 355 A)

Excellent and unusual colour : copper-brown standards, lighter at their base; deep red-brown falls with yellow-orange beards prolonged with a 1 cm long white line. (Niswonger 1995)

Definitely fascinating! Cream white standards infused with plenty of lemon yellow, deep purple falls that turn to a sustained lavender under beards of golden yellow tipped white. A very pale 2mm lavender border completes this original complex pedigree combination. A really interesting one.

A rare bicolor featuring pale lavender-blue standards with falls of yellow with a hint of ochre or golden yellow and thin but neat white ruffles. The orangey-yellow beards are very subtle, almost going un-noticed. The combination creates a really interesting contrast for this prolific specimen. You can expect an average of 8 buds per stem.
