Description
‘Sparkler’
2Y-YYO
[Incomparabilis 2a]
(Engleheart, G.H., pre-1910)
A cheerful flower with spreading, scarcely overlapping, slender-ovate, mimosa-yellow perianth segments, which tend to recurve and twist jauntily. On opening the slightly flaring, angular funnel of Indian orange is closely, deeply pleated but, as the flower matures and the corona expands, the colouring and the ridges soften and fade, leaving a darker eye zone, and the margin becomes obscurely scalloped in places, and unevenly, lightly ruffled. Slightly below average height; flowering early mid-season.
