Appearance

Creamy white/pink with red virus streaks. Yellow center. White and pink flowers are occasionally speckled with deep red streaks and sprinkles after the plant matures. White and pink with a unique splash of blood red. The center has a sunshine ring. ALL FLOWERS DO NOT HAVE THIS VARIEGATION. Some heads have a few variegated flowers while others only carry the pink, white, and yellow color. 2.5-3” and a soft, nice texture. The flowers are large, have a nice perfume, and every tip gets an inflo every year. It produces masses of flowers, and is also the first to bloom and last to finish, pubescent stalk. Pink and a touch of pale pink toward middle and yellow center, 3", some flowers will be very dark pink and some will be red with splash of white, light scent. Limbs have a soft, slightly fur like texture. Only a few flowers spot and splash reds and pinks and actually variegate. When the 2-3" speckled pink and red flower variegation finally appears it is a spectacular sight. It's a prolific bloomer and I love the shape - the small leaves curve down gracefully, like an umbrella. Princess Victoria Adriana #299 2 1/2-3" light pink with yellow center, baby powder fragrance.
