By Whitacre – 1990
This gorgeous unusual form, crispate is listed as brown with a brown eyezone however I would say that is more of a copper/orange with a subtle darker eyezone. It’s most impressive feature is it’s huge gold star shaped center. I’d say it covers at least half of the 7.25 inch bloom. The flower sometimes twists but often recurves, often to the point that you only see the orange copper from the side. The plant is 42 inches tall and blooms in the mid to late season. It is a semi-evergreen, diploid.
