The Florist, Fruitist, and Garden Miscellany (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover

Excerpt from The Florist, Fruitist, and Garden Miscellany

A. Aurantiaca. This is one of the best of the genus, flowering abundantly as it does even on small plants, scarcely exceeding 6 inches high. The leaves are 6 - 8 inches long, smooth, dark green above, with the midrib and primary veins of a darkish purple beneath. The flowers are produced from erect imbricated spikes, on the apices of the branches, at first of a rich yellow, subsequently changing to a deep orange-scarlet, and remaining a long time in perfection; some plants of it here having been in flower for two months, and to all appearance will last for a month to come.
