Parisienne

Description

Parisienne has creamy-white perianth segments closely overlaid by an orange corona split to the base into six very broad, overlapping segments that are deeply bilobed, ribbed, and heavily frilled; their margins may show touches of white or yellow. The corona segments are one-quarter to one-third the length of the perianth segments, while the broad, slightly concave outer segments overlap and reflex from squarish or truncate, prominently pointed tips; the narrower inner segments are more rounded, less reflexed, and have wavy or recurved margins. The flowers measure 100 mm across and bloom in mid-season.
