Marcella was my mother's middle name and I am overjoyed to be able to carry a flower with her name attached. It's a beauty too, pinwheel blooms of narrow petals in coral orange with pink hues deepening as the flower matures. The flowers are a magnet for butterflies and the ripening seeds attract goldfinches. Mom would approve!
