Miss Pat Mason. Manurewa, Auckland Province, N.Z. 
Soraya: This is selected from a number of similar colouring  - Baccara, Miss France, Radar and Aztec - as the plant performance has, so far, been just a little better. The brilliant orange-scarlet blooms revel in hot, sunny weather, when all the above varieties are at their best.  Soraya has lovely glossy dark foliage on vigorous bushy plants.
