DUTCH CHOCOLATE

This descendant of "Above the Clouds" and "Abiqua Falls"is of a wonderful pure sky blue with gracefully ruffled edges. Discreet pale yellowish white beards. The first of the light blues to flower. Also it remains in bloom for a long time due to an average

So chic! Pink standards with hints of lilac, falls with creamy-pink centres and very wide violet-purple borders. The long beards stand out in their coral hues. An unusual colour combination.

A very big bicolour with butter-yellow standards and very dark violet-purple falls, with a big cream "throat" around the yellow-orange beard. Despite the moderate number of 6 buds, the arresting contrast offered by "Funambule" makes it an excellent new variety.

Named after the beautiful Ile de Ré off the Brittany coast, it displays a combination of delicate seaside colours: the bluish-white on opening becomes pure white in full bloom. Pale yellow beards tipped with white. Numerous remarkably shaped ruffled flowers and a strong multiplier.

Apricot-infused cream standards, brightest at their centre, framing rather rounded and beautifully ruffled lavender falls with wide mid-brown edges. Their imposing bright orange beards are striking. This variety, with gorgeous stems (8 to 9 buds on average), is truly one of a kind!

Imposing and elegant pure white widely ruffled. Discreet ivory beards. Excellent stems with often 4 flowers blooming at the same time. 4th prize at the international competition of Florence in 1997.
