Champion Bloodlines has earned its name, combining distinctive coloring with an impressive record of AIS recognition. 40″ (102 cm), Early to Midseason bloom. The standards are a warm peach-gold with lightly ruffled and serrated edges, complemented by golden style arms. The falls are golden yellow, becoming deeper toward the edges and dramatically marked with fine maroon veining that spreads across nearly the entire petal. A small white area surrounding the beard and a golden-yellow streak extending below it brighten the center. Orange beards transition through yellow-orange to gold at the tips.
