CORONATION DAY   TET 59002 [{(Breaking My Heart x Shaka Zulu) x Rock of Salvation} x Born to Reign], 24”, M, Dor, fr, very good opener but not EMO at 55 degrees, 6”, 4-way branching with 2 tight laterals plus a V and 18 buds. Dark purple with lighter purple watermark and edge trimmed in white; edge fancier/more bubbled than pictured (see clump shot on website); yellow to olive throat. Gorgeous flower and clump. Each black purple flower looks like it has a serrated white crown, and the effect is heavenly. Great color that holds well in the sun for a flower of this color. Very dormant and unhappy in the greenhouse, so not used in breeding as much as I would have liked – click here to see one of its kids. Fertile both ways.
