Jean Pasco has a very wide and sharply pointed bud when first starting to bloom.The calyx is very inflated......almost balloon looking.It only opens completely during the night(a late bloomer!!LOL) the edges of the corolla are dark orange or gold with a lighter center.Nice fragrance....and as many wild forms..it tends to throw many of its characteristics into its offspring.The inflated calyx is the giveaway.
Pic is "Clare Mills" notice the inflated calyx and characteristic shaped corolla of a Jean Pasco progeny.
