It is 2 inches wide with falls which recurve back to the stalk, the standards are med lavender not altogether evenly applied, the falls are a reddish, maroonish, lavenderish blend rimmed by the same color as the standards.  It has med orange haft color and an ivory tint on the edge of the styles which are basically the same color as the standards.  The beards are sparse, but long both in depth and the length they come down on the falls and are a grayish lavender.  It actually is more in proportion than it appeared it was headed while in bud.  Any ideas?  I'm assuming from its looks it is an aril type.
