'Merry Amigo' (Barry Blyth, R. 2009). Seedling P3-1. TB, 38" (97 cm), Very early to midseason bloom. Standards pure white; Falls red violet, well-defined 1/8" white edge; beards bright tangerine-orange. 'Decadence' X 'Pennant Fever'. Tempo Two 2009/10.
 
Hybridizer's Comment: Striking in its contrast and an example of a true amoena with pure white standards with no other colour; falls are rich red violet and with a well defined 1/8" white edge, so precise. Beards are bright tangerine orange. Nice sculptured ruffling on the petals. Show branching. 50 or more years ago we grew a variety called 'Wabash'. This is a very modern updated version of that old favourite. Fertile but not easy.
