Butterfly. 
Color is a bright yellow, exquisitely marked with terra cotta red. In 
its lovely form and colors it suggests a gay yellow butterfly.

of color reminds one of sunset skies, yellow overlaid with salmon pink, 
the two upper petals lined and feathered with red in the throat. The 
flower has the charm of varied shades, pink, yellow and salmon, blooming 
at first a rich pure salmon, and fading with age to lighter shades. 10c
