TRUFFLE MANIA*

(Kirchhoff) 30" M RE FR EV 6 3/4"
Nicknamed "giant" in the garden, its color might simply be described as coriander, with a deeper wash of yellow and salmon rouge above the yellow to green throat. There are hints of yellow and almond colors, impressions of a watermark and shadings above the throat from rose inward into bright yellow to chartreuse. There's a touch of green at the heart. The cresting on the petaloids is unusually wide and topped off with yellow ruffles. TRUFFLE MANIA is a full petaloid double, with tightly ruffled and serrated edges which turn up at the end. The petals are up to 3 ¼" in diameter. The texture is smooth and diamond dusted. The strongly recurrent scapes have 3 to 4 way branching and 23 - 25 buds. A parent of many exciting new doubles. Fertile both ways. 99.99% double.
