One visitor describes the flowers as "all-day dreamsicles." No worry about them melting. With a rosy orange halo and an orange-to-gold-to-green throat, this tall gold-orange flower gives visiting garden judges reason to linger. The reflexed form is peony style. The texture is smooth with beveled pink midrib and veins that match the halo color. Ruffles of gold and apricot adorn the edges. It is both pod and pollen fertile. This masterpiece of an golden orange double has a beautiful rose orange halo above its orange-gold to green throat is edged in gold and rosy-orange ruffles.
