Intro notes from hybridizer:

[(Little Sensation x Arcadian Sprite) X Blue Flirt] 18” EMRe. SEv. 2 ¾”. 4-way branching. 24 buds. Double 80%. This little lavender purple beauty, as you can see, is from single breeding, so you can expect a fair amount of singling on the first set of scapes. I can tell you that during rebloom it is almost always fully double. Grace often remarked that it is like having two flowers in one.

This is a beautiful flower with a lavender purple base and a blue gray watermark eye pattern. It is quite showy and always admired in the garden. Fertile both ways.
