Flower with a musty fragrance, to 4¼ inches (10.5 cm) across. Petals broadly obovate, of a difficult to specify orangish-red. The ring formed by the bases of the outer stamens is a distinct flaring yellow at the mouth of the greenish throat. The entire combination is reminiscent of some of the dramatic photos of the Ring Nebula (M57) in the constellation Lyra as photographed by the Hubble space telescope.
