Raised by Girault (Orleans), France, in 1968. A stunning flower colour of velvety crimson, with a satin sheen to the tepal surface, fading as the flower ages. A full rounded 10cm (4in) wide flower due to the tips of the tepals recurving. Brownish red anthers. Very free flowering habit although the plant's structure is rather weak and the foliage floppy, lacking constitution.
