Description:

The flowers are really huge on this tutti-fruity lookin' gal... scapes tall and deeply branched, and foliage all in total proportion! No doubt, it's "well balanced". In the flower itself (generally starting out at 8"), the enormous eyewash of light mandarin orange is complimented beautifully with the pink self... for QUITE a bit of "flair"! The whole look "feels" like an oriental scheme to me in person, so the name truly fits!

Please note the scape photo. I've added in text to show what "performance" means. The scapes lateral branches are incredibly deep on this one, and often bifurcate into THREE terminal whorls... a huge advance, that offer even MORE buds. Luckily, these are especially elongated on this one, so flowers aren't crowded. Essentially, with this new configuration, the scape emits scapes.

Definitely a "Giant" in every way, with simply amazing rebound. Quite pod fertile, too... and her kids are sporting the same giant habit! WOO HOO!!!
