Description
Each bloom's large, flattened petals overlap to create a smooth canvas on which to highlight a bold center star. Brushed outward from the center, full strokes of rich burgundy come to a perfect point, then radiate into thin veins of color until reaching the petals' edges. Slightly upturned flowers appear in groups above leathery, evergreen foliage.
