H.  ‘GOD SAVE THE QUEEN’*

30” E Re Ex Ev 7”  The color is medium orchid with a half-inch wide purple border, and lilac splashed filigree. This purple edge (flecked with shades of lilac) is encircled with yellow gold filigree and elaborately embellished with talons and sparkles of diamond and amethyst. The eye shows phenomenal color saturation in imperial purple, above the yellow to green throat. The EMO form is full, quite flat, overlapped, and widespread. Many cross tags will read GSTQ, because H. ‘God Save The Queen’ is a very fertile parent both ways. Its kids easily display embellished double and triple edges. The strongly recurrent scapes are branched 3-4 ways, with 26 or more buds. (Moonfeather x Martina Verhaert) x Scott Bennett
