Description & History
Pink Ruffles is listed by PSA and is described in source notes as a seedling of Pink Pansy. Its name fits the flower: the cultivar is reported to have pink blooms with a peachy-gold to orange-yellow center and visibly ruffled or twisted petal edges.

Petal-edge traits are especially useful because they narrow possible matches better than color alone.
Representative photos and trait wording should be reviewed before this record is treated as final.
