Bright tangerine to copper pistils are common, and the flowers are characterized by heavy trichome coverage, giving them a glassy sheen.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is a blend of ripe strawberry jam and candied red fruits, layered over a creamy, dessert-like base reminiscent of sherbet and gelato. Secondary notes may include guava, subtle citrus zest, and a hint of fuel or dough. Upon tasting, the initial impression is sweet and creamy, often compared to strawberry-and-cream candies or melted berry gelato, with a finish that can include vanilla cream, light dough, and a mild peppery spice.
