N - O Click on thumbnail photo for 640 x 480 resolution view. Opens perfectly every time. A fine royal purple with a small yellow green throat that bleeds into the petal color.
Form is very full, round, overlapped and recurved.
Color is very rich and holds fairly well for one so dark. Scapes are erect and well branched. Incredible clear blue lavender with bluish eyezone. Numerous blooms on candelabra branching. Dave Talbott does nice work.
