Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Flowers open red and then change to a nice rose-pink color with a lighter center. The dorsal lobes are marked with strong yellowish-green. Indumentum on the foliage is another plus for a very pretty plant. ('Mars' x degronianum ssp. yakushimanum 'Koichiro Wada')
