First Team

Description

First Team has rounded, 90 mm flowers with dark yellow petaloid segments and shorter orange corona segments interspersed among them. The petaloid segments form four whorls; they are very broad, concave and regularly arranged, overlapping by at least half, with rounded, somewhat flat-ended tips that lack an apparent point. The outer whorl spreads, the inner whorls turn slightly inward and remain nearly as long, while the central whorl curves strongly inward with deeply incurved margins. It blooms early, and the flowers are described as sunproof.
