Lorimer F. Banks

This is a cross between one of my previous introductions, 'Red-Edged Sunrise' with 'Gavin Petit'.  It has a peach coloured flower with a very large dark maroon eye.  There is a very thick matching maroon edge on the petals that narrows as it extends outward from the throat, and is bordered by a light cream coloured rim.  It has a greenish yellow throat with a prominent peach-coloured midrib extending out into the maroon eye.  The sepals have a hint of maroon on the edge bordered by a narrow gold rim.  It has been a hardy evergreen in my garden, having survived five winters with no protection.  It is named to honour my father and has 3-4 way branching and 14 buds.  $12 (Double fan)
