Hybridizer's comment: A beautiful soft coral pink with falls that are a shade creamier and coral pink edges and coral tan hafts. Beards are big and bushy and tangerine red. Around the edge, showing up is a sculptured edge of coral lace. The flowers are so ruffled and lacy, beautifully balanced and with slightly open standards so we can see the lacy style arms. Touching hafts with 2 to 3 flowers out at once. A heavy bloomer. We love it as everyone who sees it does.
