Charles '61) was on its last few buds but was still quite a lovely color in bright orange with falls slightly lighter, more of an apricot orange with quite a noticeable yellow influence around the edges; beard a bright red. The standards have a pinkish coloring on the backs of the midribs that is quite lovely." |
