INK PATTERNS

Very, very original seedling of ‘Ciel et Mer’ and ‘Tour de France ’! Milky white standards and deep mauve falls turning to medium metallic blue under orange-yellow beards shouldered by light green bronze. Good branching and 7 buds on average. (Cayeux seedling 11 214 A).

Exquisite and classy! Pale lavender standards and regally rich purple falls with a velvety sheen. Lavender beards. Each stem produces 9 to 10 buds on 3 to 4 branches. Aristocratic flowers with large ruffles ready to take place in a royal garden.

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)

Pale copper standards with rippled and gently crinkled edges, falls of the same colour but clearly lighter which are also rippled and crinkled to frame an orange beard. A magnificent stem, with low branches, very large flowers and plenty of buds: between 10 and 11 on average. One of the last to flower.

Bluish-white standards with a touch of grey, velvety violet-purple falls with a lavender border. Quite fine smoky, orange beards. Beautiful low branched stems. Similar to ‘Profond Mystère’, but superior, in our opinion. (Cayeux sowing 11 193 A).

Peach pink standards turning to golden yellow on their edges. White falls with a precise and narrow yellow rim, bright orange beards. Plenty of small flowers, moderatly ruffled. Very vigourous, quickly forming into good clumps.
