Description

From the Double Flashback gene pool, a solid head of orange petals with those showy red backsides. Flowers close together at sunset, gathering together into a ‘barrel’ shaped of crimson staves. In the morning, the orange-filled insides spill forth as the ‘barrel’ splits open again, day after day.
