Sister-clone to the beautiful ‘Fireball’ but very different. Lovely medium purple flowers, the lip with paler keels, heavily marked with orange-red both inside and out. A classic early Butterfield cross, which has been eclipsed by more extravagant colour schemes. Rare in cultivation and seldom offered but well worth growing.
