This is one unique bloom that is just spectacular in person to see. I hesitated on getting this when it was available last year and of course waited until it was no longer available. Luckily I was able to find it this year on the internet but was wondering if HVH has any plans on selling this one again?
I really like this CV a lot. The little 4" I got in April has grown quickly, has lots of new branches forming at the bottom and mid section of the plant and blooms frequently. The blooms range in size from 6-8" but what I am very impressed with is the quality of the blooms. Always excellent form and really pretty how the inner bloom is smooth and then gets rather ruffled towards the edge. Best of both worlds.
Then there is that dark burgundy eye that sometimes is close to black. What a color combination to go from that to a bright magenta and then a really pale creme bloom with streaky magenta veining. Got this one on my porch and everyone always comments on it saying they never knew flowers could have such colors.
I believe it is also the flower pic used for the online store multi-colored blooms link.
Enjoy the pics...
