TRISTRAM (1919) PBF

TB-M-W3

Maori King x Thorbecke

Tristram is a dwarfer habited plant than most, but its small stature does not detract from beauty of its flowers. Falls deep maroon with reticulations, standards bluish colour. (Gardeners Chronicle: 1919)

Bicolour. Standards white tinted lavender. Falls velvety blackish purple. Stalk well branched. Foliage tinged at base. Claw flecked dark. Haft white heavily veined to below beard, beard white, yellow tipped, spathes not flushed. Very close to Thorbecke, but apparently sturdier and better branched. (AIS Bulletin: #9)
