Machismo (Blyth 2003) TB

Machismo was introduced by Barry Blyth in 2003 and grows to about 36 inches tall, blooming from midseason to late with a slight sweet fragrance. The standards are burgundy to ruby, while the falls are plush burgundy to burgundy black with a lighter suffused edge about three eighths of an inch wide. Bright tango orange beards stand out against the dark falls. The flowers are ruffled and flared in form. This variety was bred from a seedling related to ‘Wearing Rubies’ crossed with a seedling from (‘Island Gossip’ x ‘Who’s Your Daddy’).
