Flowers emerge a wonderful plum-purple with a deep black-purple flare on the dorsal lobe. White stamens create a nice contrast against the darker colors. Foliage is a glossy green.

Here is a sturdy growing plant. The leathery green leaves have a slight downward twist making a valued foliage plant. Those huge dark purple trusses have a showy black marking on the upper petal. This really is a sensational hybrid! ('Purple Splendour' x 'A. Bedford')
