Coming from the fiery bright ORANGE ELECTRIC and the very large and round TROPICAL SENSATION, I knew there would be some winners here. CITRIX was the most exciting of the offspring combining the best of both parents. First it is a bright citrus orange color but there is also a tricky unusual pattern to the flower, not quite a watermark but not quite multiple patterns of color subtly fading into a deep olive green throat. The flowers are very large, very round and slightly recurved. The substance is extremely heavy while the texture is somewhat ribbed. The performance of CITRIX is astounding. It blooms continuously here in Florida from April to August without resting between bloom cycles. Fertile both ways.
