Maarn, or alternate Sylvia as we prefer here on the farm, is a joyful reminder of my late mother who shared the same remarkable resilience and beautiful name. This lovely orange petaled lady lives up to her well-earned reputation of being a dependable “no fuss” producer in the field and is long-lasting in floral arrangements. Her fruity orange blooms remind me of the juicy balls of cantaloupe we scoop into summer fruit salads!
