  • Posted by jmorth (central Illinois) on Aug 31, 2015 10:52 PM concerning plant:
    Suave - a perfectly formed flower with the softest yellow petals possible, a cup just slightly darker and rimmed with yet a darker shade; exquisite and delicate looking but very strong stemmed and long-lasting in bloom; late spring; 14"-16".
