 orange-carmine blotch in throat; tall and graceful 

 stems. One of the best forcing varieties for florists, 

 most bulbs blooming with two spikes

 newer varieties. The color, a warm salmon-pink, is

 great sensation in the exhibitions

 carmine tongue and throat markings; petals 

 slightly recurved; large, wide open flowers; tall,
