    Brent and Becky's describe Delibes thusly -
    'a terrific perennializer, and an old standby, buttercup yellow, rounded, overlapping petals and a pale yellow/orange cup with a broad, bright orange rim that looks like it's been kissed; 12"-16"; early- mid spring; 1950; 14+ cm.'
  • Posted by jmorth (central Illinois) on Nov 11, 2011 8:00 PM concerning plant:
    Good to force. Bulbs trans-located to garden thereafter will reward the industrious with blooms in subsequent years.
    Described by suppler as'...yellow overlapping petals & a yel/orange cup w/ a broad bright orange rim looks like it's been kissed.'
    Introduced in 1950.
    Division 2 (large cup).
