Anecdotal Notes
Diana
C Stars soft yellow, large flowers with lime yellow center. Citrus fragrance. Leo’s Candy Stripe NOID bought at the LA County Fair by Phil & Leo's mother many years ago. When she gave me a bunch of cuttings I called it "Phil’s Candystripe" because it resembled the well-known Candystripe. When Phil’s brother decided to start selling his Mom's cuttings, he called it Leo's Candy Stripe. Largest individual flowers, like Theresa Wilder when it is fully mature and open. Very long petals, over 6-7". Many faces, compact grower.
