In the introduction year, A.B. Stout described it as:
"
A concentric and sharply contrasted two-toned pattern marks this flower;
there is an orange throat outside of which both the sepals and petals are a sprightly fulvous red of the shade near Brazil red (Ridgeway).
The petals are wide, semi-rounded, and recurving and the flower is full.
The much branched scapes rise to a height of 28 inches and are scarcely taller than the foliage. The season of flowering is June.
