AAYRS out many long, sturdy flower stems, 
each carrying a big, ovoid bud in 
light pastel shades of buff, yellow, and pale 
orange. Che large, many- petaled blooms have 
stiff, heavy-textured petals. Here in Southern 
California we would wish for the flower to be 
of better quality, which evidently they are in 
cooler areas. It certainly produces an enor- 
mous number of blooms, and the big plant 
has an abundance of big, dark green leaves.
