    HVH: "'Daisy Mae' is as simple, buxom, and beautiful as its name implies! Its large 7-9" bright yellow flowers shine with a pretty red eye ringed with a white halo. The daughter of 'Saffron' and 'Chariots of Fire,' 'Daisy Mae' couldn't help but have a beautiful, lush, easy-to-grow bush. And like both parents, it blooms and blooms! This hibiscus will surely end up on our Tried and True list in a few years. Released from HVH in 2011."
