Posted by Joy (Kalama, Wa. - Zone 8b) on Dec 3, 2011 6:31 AM concerning plant:

ON SILKEN THREAD is a tall, titanic, twisting crispate unusual form with a medium orange petal and lighter sepal color, burnt orange eye and dark green throat. ON SILKEN THREAD dances in the garden and has a very long bloom season. 3-4 way branching, 25 buds. Pollen fertile. Super vigorous!
