DOG DAYS

Horizontal coppery amber standards of velvet, somewhere between solid crimson-violet and aubergine tones. The flowers stand firmly, boasting their very ruffled edges and burned orange toned beards.

An amoena with white standards very slightly touched with blue and deep blue-violet, nearly horizontal falls, with much paler 4 mm edges. Large flowers, 18 cm wide and gladioli-style branching.

Bred from "Special Feature", it has inherited its spur-like beards, these ones being pale lavender, the rest of the flower being ice-white. Very strong, well-bodied flowers, with nearly horizontal falls. A classic beauty, useful in the garden for its striking looks and late flowering.

Pure white falls with a strong infusion of golden yellow in their center. Creamy white falls with deep mauve veins and also washed mid-mauve towards their edges. Bright golden yellow beards in harmony with the golden touch of the standards.

Purple lavender standards with a diffused caramel border, deep purple falls with long and bright tangerine beards which are extended by a short white midline. Flowers of moderate size in balance with the foliage. (Cayeux Sowing 11 77 B).

From its father, 'Lumarco', it inherited a wonderful delicateness in tone and shape. Boasting standards of pure white, lemon-yellow styles and plicata-like falls with thin light-violet edges. The beard's heart is yellow, the tips white. Good stem with an average of 8 buds.
