Red Cup Poet cross

The flower diameter is about 56mm. If you look closely, a wire red rim is at the corona edge. In theory it is from “pure” poet breeding although ‘Cushendall’ (registered as a 3W-GWW even though its breeding is ‘Dactyl’ x ‘Raeburn’; both poets) is a great grandparent. There are a few others from this cross that are being closely watched. The color value is quite dark red as it opens. Color lightens to an orange/red as it ages. The cup burns in your field if your next door neighbor opens his refrigerator and the little light goes on…….
