Description
Produces 3 to 3.5-inch rounded flowers with broad, oval, overlapping petals. Flowers are cream with a large orange area and orange veining, turning red over about 30% of the surface, with an orange throat blending outward toward white-tipped petals that turn dark pink; the backside is white with an intense red margin band. The red intensity increases with heat and sunlight. Flowers are thick-textured, long-lasting, and flatten over time like Golden Pagoda. Leaves are medium green, broad elliptical with pointed tips. The habit is sturdy, compact, well-branching, with thick branches. A seedling of Penang Peach. Sets seed. Similar to Dtaeng/Tang Mo, Orange 337, probably Beautiful Thailand, similar to Diamond Rainbow, but not Temptation, which is more compact and branchy.
