 bloom is unusually large, long-lasting and constantly fresh looking, its 

 effect is that of a delicate and almost ethereal loveliness. The individ- 

 ual petals are large and of great substance, gradually opening, a few 

 at a time, around a high-pointed center until the fully open flower, 

 very double, shows a great center heart of tawny yellow.
