Bloombuddie said:Thank you for your reply. I haven't measured it but it is a normal height for a TB. The pictures I posted were from its first year to bloom. I found some from this year.

Closest I could get is Tempesto (2007 Blyth) or Bel Esprit (Keppel 2002), but I don't see that little golden edge on the standards, and the falls look more peachy rather than the sunny apricot on yours.
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

Reminds me somewhat of Inspired too, but still seems a bit off...

That looks closer than my guesses Neal...

It seems the lavender darkens at the top of the standard on my noid and all the rest of these beauties have the darkest shade at the bottom of the standard. I appreciate your ideas. I'll see what I can do with ID when it blooms again. Thanks!

Also puts me in mind of La Scala:
