ORANGE SIZZLE
$50 Tetraploid, 5.0 Inches ALEXANDRA x COUNCIL FIRE Fluorescent diamond-dusted Orange/peach polychrome with yellow throat. Flat, round, with thin tight ruffled wire gold edge. Obviously the flower form is not the round and flat perfection that I usually strive for. Instead, the petals often bend or recurve. But make no mistake: the substance is heavy and the flower is not floppy. The almost iridescent hot orange color is what 'makes' the flower for me. Creates a showy clump. The image shown here is poor and doesn't do the flower justice. 26, Mid-Late, 10-15 buds. Reblooms.
