On the outside, the corolla is cream-colored, often mottled with reddish behind the annulus and on lobes, and with one heavy raised longitudinal vein running down the center of each lobe. The corona is about 0.25 inches (0.6 cm) wide, with cream outer lobes with red-to-maroon margins and red-to-maroon inner lobes with bright yellow dorsal gibbosity. (10 st/seeds/samen)
