    Raised by Dutch grower van Geest in 2015, it was registered as Terra Mystica in 2018, which is how it is sold outside the US. It is a smaller flowering variety with blooms of 4-5 inches. The flowers are a stunning burnt orange with a dark plum throat and lime green on the outer petals. The flowers also have a thin white picotee edging.
