Stolen Kiss

"Stolen Kiss" was formerly known under the working name "Miss Iberville". The name change was prompted by the bloom's reddish-pink halo that gives the impression of a red lipstick stain.

Over the last few months of testing, everyone who has seen the plant in bloom has been impressed. The bush is lovely and full; the flowers retain their 7-9 inch size, even during the heat. Moreover, the bloom resists excessive reflexing and shows well on the plant.

Generally, Stolen Kiss produces a two-day flower. The first day the bloom has a good deal of pink (as shown in this picture). By the second day it's edge is yellow and all but the pink center has turned a creamy white.
