Striking lemon yellow flowers appear in May and have soft, irregular blushes of red, orange, and pink on the petals, topped with a tangerine blotch.

I think I'm in love, the flowers on this variety are tremendous. The base color is lemon yellow and irregularly there are blushes of red, orange, and pink on these simple petals. If those colors weren't enough for you it also has a tangerine blotch! A real delight!
