Hybridizer notes: Tet, (seedling X seedling), semi evergreen. MRe. fr. emo.
FRANK'S FIRE OPAL is a beautiful, low growing plant with dark blue-green arching foliage. The 20" tall scapes are branched with 22 to 25 buds. FRANK'S FIRE OPAL has a round, deep rose 4½" flower with a beautiful contrasting ruffled creamy yellow edge. The color of this flower is truly unique in that the deep rose-pink saturates the sepals and petal.
Easily fertile both ways
