'Pink Twins' doesn't make many flowers, but the flowers are interesting. They are a good pink, with a very large calyx, which makes some books say "double flowers" or "fully hose-in-hose." Neither of these is accurate, but the large calyx (behind petals) makes a nice effect. This plant seems to be quite hardy, and is good-looking, despite the low flower count. Perhaps I should move it to a sunnier spot, where it will set more buds. I purchased the plant in Spring 1999 at Kmart.
