MYSTICANO (B. Blyth ’21)
TB Early-Mid 34” (86cm)
A striking and contrasting variegata. Standards are light golden yellow infused tan and with faint light violet infusion at base of midribs. The falls are near black with a reddish cast. A small spray of white is at each side of the orange-over-white beards. Show stems abound and it is fertile. Variegatas are difficult to improve upon in hybridizing and this we feel is a good step towards that elusive perfect specimen.

NINJA WARRIOR (L.Miller ’16)

Smoky pink standards are infused orchid up midribs. Ready for action, horizontally flared falls are velvety black with a slightly lighter wire rim and mid purple veins beside sienna to purple beards. Need some protection - get a ‘Ninja Warrior’.

A different reverse bicolor pattern. Standards are blue to light violet. Falls are Rosy pink with a lighter area below beard that becomes a blue wash. Bright orange beards set the whole pattern off. Good strong growth with lots of bloom are an early season delight. The flowers transition as they age to this color, starting out with a more lavender pink fall border. Very pretty through all stages. Check out the website for both images.
