The corolla was radial in symmetry and orange in color, with a darker, reddish dot on each petal; it measured ~10 mm in diameter, with an exserted corolla tube whose limb measured ~5 mm. The corolla was large enough to place this plant safely in the variant intermedia rather than the variant menziesii (A. menziesii var. menziesii being more commonly known as the Small-flowered Fiddleneck).
