Hybridizer’s Description: METALLIC BLUE EYES is close to being a UF and so is used as a parent for layered eye UFs and spiders. The eye in METALLIC BLUE EYES is rare and wonderful- a red-purple band, then a blue-purple band, then a metallic light blue band. The metallic sheen in the light blue band is extraordinary. I think the sheen is weather related. 3-way branching, 20 buds. Fertile both ways. Reblooms, Light medium peach with layered eyezone of red purple, blue purple, and metallic blue above green throat
