This flower was named for my Great Aunt Annabelle. She and Uncle Bob never had any children of their own, so we were all like children and grandchildren to them. The story goes that when the children were being raised, the kids had a hard time saying "Aunt Annabelle." Just too many syllables! So she shortened it to just "Aunt Belle" to make it easier for the kids. Her favorite colors for flowers were oranges and yellows. I found this particular seedling especially pretty, and I thought she would approve. She was my grandmother's sister (See Sylvia Catherine).
