(Margie Valenzuela, 2013) Seedling SQC-07-J (M-ML) 36-37" Tall TB. This richly-colored deep purple beauty often has 3 blooms opened at once. The lighting can play tricks on the rich purple standards making them look lighter at times, over deep rich falls that draw your attention to the white spray markings at the half and on the shoulders. The beard is multi-colored mustard, white, and purple. Superb growth, good substance and branching, a real eye-catcher!
