Description
Cindy Schmidt produces striking 2.5 to 3-inch orange-yellow flowers streaked with orange, featuring an intense flushed orange-red center that bleeds to a pinkish margin and a pastel pink-and-yellow band on the reverse of the petals. Petal texture is strong. Fragrance is reported variably as mild and nice, with some observers finding the bright orange flower’s scent unpleasant. Growth is average. The cultivar is very hard to root but sets seed. A related note describes Cinnemark as recommended for a spicy fragrance, with pink flowers centered by a red pinwheel.
