ZEST OF ORANGE TRUFFLE

(Kirchhoff) 26" E Re Ex Fr Dor 5 ½" The blooms are complex shadings of glorious Spanish orange splashed by cinnamon spice, flamingo, and warm cedar hues, with gold edging and yellow to green throats. The frame petals are subtly watermarked in orchid-lavender. The doubling is petaloid style, and the form is made more interesting as the midribs emerge from the center of the petaloids and fold back almost flat, repeating the watermark halo. Both color and substance hold amazingly well in the hottest sun. The scapes have 3 - 5 way branching and are strongly recurrent. Fertile and a parent of fine doubles.
