Ball · 4–5"PurpleUnited States

Rich burgundy-red petals, each one tipped in clean white, arranged in a full, tight globe of near-perfect symmetry. That crisp two-tone contrast is what draws exhibitors to it season after season. A longstanding favorite on the show bench for its reliably sharp color break and polished form. It also holds its form on the show bench.
