Giant blooms in dusky rose, raspberry, and peach, threaded with flashes of violet, ruffled and full enough to fill an entire arrangement on their own. Stems are strong enough to hold up the weight without staking heroics. Flower farmers grow it because it ships well and sells faster than they can cut it. It comes from Lyons in United Kingdom.
