#(a) Refined and noticeably shiny, “Maple-like”, green leaves which have relatively smooth margins and white buds with red and pink markings which combined compliments the landscape;

#The flower and foliage of the cultivar are shown in the attached photographs

#More specifically, the first photograph is a close-up of the flower and the leaf. The second photograph is the reverse of the petals, close-up.

#The colors are as true as is reasonably possible to attain in photographic illustrations of this type. The colors illustrated may be slightly off due to light reflectance.

#What follows is a detailed description of the new cultivar. The specific color descriptions are in accordance with the Dictionary of Color (Maerz and Paul), while general color recitations are consistent with ordinary American color terminology.

#‘Pink Comet’ has not been observed under all possible environment conditions. It is to be understood that the phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and day length, without, however any difference in genotype of the plant. The following botanical characteristics and observations are gathered from the plant when grown in Lincoln, Nebr. (USDA Zone 4).
