MISS DEMEANOR (Davisson-J 2011)

MISS DEMEANOR is a 9" apricot unusual form with a washed yellow watermark and fine yellow edges. Petals crispate and sepals curl back tightly. I almost composted this one the first year it bloomed because it's a different color similar to MEAN GREEN, but the scape won my heart (see next picture). Scapes are 49" with 5- and 6-way branching, 24 to 30 buds, plus another 9 buds on rebloom scapes. Starts midseason and continues into late season. A semievergreen tet from a cross of ORANGE CLOWN X WHERE EAGLES SOAR. Difficult but not impossible as a pod parent, easy pollen. A garden standout!
