HVH: "Flashdancer blooms with 6-8" bold flowers in vibrant orange with a hot pink eye and attractive yellow spots and splotches in summer. In cooler weather, the colors are still lush and bright, but summer heat intensifies the colors and markings. The flowers get their shape and size from the mother plant, The Path, but their thicker texture and better form express a definite improvement in flower type. Flashdancer gets its vivid colors from father plant Sun Shower, but its more upright bush is an improvement over Sun Shower's wild, sprawling bush. Released from HVH in 2002."
