Hollingsworth, 1996
This cultivar can be hard to capture in photographs, as its blooms open in an orangey-pink hue and fade to a soft apricot with age. Loved by many, it’s undoubtedly a spectacular specimen. That said, this is a very honest review: the plant is slow to mature, and it's overall growth habit is modest. While its vibrant, show-stopping flowers can make a striking impression, expectations should be kept in check, as it might not always live up to the hype. However, despite these observations, I see a place for this flower in my collection—it’s a beautiful addition and works wonderfully in a cut flower program.
