Marc writes, "Pale lavender and lilac bitone with chartreuse to green throat, turning yellow to chartreuse in heat. A superb example of the Butterfly Crispatation Pattern.This seedling out of my numerous "Gollast" crosses in the 1990's gave me the multiple branching and extreme spatulate petals of GOLLIWOG and a muted lilac colour influenced by ASTERISK. From both parents it gets a nocturnally-opening blooming habit and high pod fertility.

FAIRY SUMMERBIRD is still a standard for the Butterfly Form with its extreme spatulate petals and sepals (created through the base-quilling of the sepals). A full sib to DANCING SUMMERBIRD, FAIRY SUMMERBIRD has much better branching, smaller flowers and lighter colour. A true exotic. Prefers some afternoon shade to keep the soft colours, otherwise, it changes colours like so many of selections, to a soft creamy ivory pastel, which is also nice. In cooler climates, this and some of my other ASTERISK line seedling selections keep a rich hue of blended lavender, lilac, salmon, pink and the throats are much greener. The substance stays good in heat, but the colours are fugitive in our Italian summer heat. Rave reviews from England."
