(Kirchhoff) 30" EE Re Ex Dor 5 ½". The blooms of this handsome beauty are an earthy color, marked with a yellow border outlining half or more of the petals. The color is unique in hues of rich brandy, date and chocolate -- dark and intense -- with a lighter cloverleaf shaped watermark infused with yellow, above a flash of green at the throat. The finish and substance are leathery and saturated with a rare depth of color. An EMO, circular formed, with overlapped, slightly recurved petals and sepals. Graced by a long season of bloom (even for Florida), the strongly recurrent scapes are well branched and carry ample bud count. Fertile, though moderately difficult pod set.
