NADA (Giridlian, 1936). (Pronounced 
Ney-da). The result of crossing two of the 
crested type, Japonica and Wattii, combin- 
ing the good qualities of both. The flower 
stalk rises two feet from the center of 
the fan of leaves, and is branched and re- 
branched, carrying as many as 40 terminal 
buds, each bud in turn producing five 
flowers in succession. 
The flowers are white with chrome-yel- 
low crests with a touch of light lavender 
around the crests. The style branches are 
light lavender lacerated in a_ beautiful 
manner. The standards and falls are waved 
and frilled. The flowers are about 214 
inches across, and lend themselves ideally 
for flower arrangements. They last well 
ee cut, as nearly all the buds develop.
