C. Fruit Salad

C. Fruit Salad (Cherry Chip x aurantiaca ‘Mac') is my first hybrid and this was the first to bloom of the grex. It had the color of orange and cherry red and smelled of apricots so the name came readily. Several of the grex were splash-petalled, either purple on pink or on pale yellow but these were all quite small flowers. Later blooming clones were all concolor yellow/light orange. The plants bloom twice a year.
