So, "seedling of Angel Face" should probably be replaced by "64110-D-34", which then unfortunately loses the information on 'Angel Face', 'Circus', 'Sterling Silver' and 'Lavender Pinocchio'. The three last are all in the parentage of 'Angel Face', so, Weeks seems to have done some backcrossings. Maybe "seedling of Angel Face" is not quite correct, but still shows the heritage better than any other description.

Paradise is a vigorous grower with little care, I am growing in full afternoon sun adn it seems extremely hardy. A good beginner - disease and pest resistant. Beautiful, and I mean BEAUTIFUL blooms! Nice foliage, except when it gets very sunny and hot here in Zone 10A, leaves will have a tendency to burn. Very little to no fragrance. Great cut flower.
