Named for 'Lucifer'' ..the morning star.

"In Roman astronomy, Lucifer was the name given to the morning star (the star we now know by another Roman name, Venus). The morning star appears in the heavens just before dawn, heralding the rising sun.
The name derives from the Latin term 'lucem ferre', bringer, or bearer, of light."
In the Hebrew text the expression used to describe the Babylonian king before his death is Helal, son of Shahar, which can best be translated as "Day star, son of the Dawn." The name evokes the golden glitter of a proud king's dress and court (much as his personal splendor earned for King Louis XIV of France the appellation, "The Sun King")."

And for the Archangel, Lucifer ..bearer of light.

Lemon yellow horizontal blooms are held high and proud.
Excellent fragrance.
Blooms in tremendous flushes over rich green foliage .. like stars in the sky!
The creases between the flares deepen in colour as the blooms ages.
