Edit Variety Information

Variety Information

VarEditNL
Color : Black
Availability: Colombia
Scented: No
General Comments: The calyx opens in a unique way, giving it its distinctive long appearance. Many stems blossom into double blooms with the blooms in varying positions. Sorpresa means Surprise in Spanish. Though the length spec is consistent and the quality is outstanding, the blooms open in a surprising array of configurations, hence the name.
