Dr. Ronald standing with an established clump of Starburst Sensation, in front of his home in Manitoba, July 2001. Dr. Ronald is over 6 feet tall, giving you an idea of how tall this orienpet he hybridized can grow! I was fortunate to not only meet Dr. Ronald during this trip, but to see his nursery operation as well.

Triploid, and more vigorous than it's parent 'Starburst Sensation'. Also has strong fragrance, which can fill your whole yard on a nice warm evening.
