I love the feathered throat, the subtle bluish eye and the bluish highlights on some of the petals and sepals. ‘Laura Harwood’ X ‘Smoke Scream’

The substance on this one is amazing. It looked as good at dusk as it did in the morning. It has a sturdy scape, so wind and rain don't faze it. ’New Paradigm’ X ’Eye of Horus’

Consistently poly, this one has an interesting champagne sort of coloration and is another one with heavy substance.

Another one with heavy substance, which is interesting, because I'm not breeding for that trait. Nice green throat. I like the way it flares way out almost to the petal edge. The eye is carried out to the petal edge as well.

Love the color combination on this one. Nice bluish eye and great green throat. Modest ruffling. I don't like ruffling that's overdone.
