         Shading on this particular one is that of blushed oranges tans, browns and yellows. The mix of this is striking as the display branches outward and drops pendant blossoms that are down facing. Unusual and hard to find. I cannot explain the stunning grace that is the substance of this stellar hybrid. There are those that are not particularly fond, but in my world she is the key and the queen of my gardens, at least for now…. ❤️ Look at those marvelous pedicel arch—– wow weeeeee
