It's A Wonderful Life may be too long a name but the flower is big and snowy enough to fit it.

I took it off availability earlier this year so we could build up more reasonable numbers of stock plants. When it comes back it will be highly recommended due to the fanciness and size of the blooms and the nice upright bush. Flowers are 8 inch plus size. High Voltage x Fantasy Charm

Here are some photos from today, the second in a 6 inch pot shows the bush, too.

Wow the flower on that one is very fancy.  I just collected seeds from a Belle du Jour x Fantasy Charm (I picked the flower from a plant at armstrongs Tongue)  Its too bad I dont really have any place to plant them Sad

Hi Chris,

Hmm, with extra seeds you could:
auction them off
give them to a friend
have me grow them  Smiley

I've got a lot of seed still to plant this year but have found that if I start too many at once I'm not able to baby them all through the germination phase and lose a lot more because of that. I start 100 at a time now so I can watch over them better.

Hi Charlie,

I think might just do that Wink  I know one professor that has access to a greenhouse and I might just take you up on that offer Smiley 

I would auction them off if I didn't want to know what the offspring look like!  Sometimes curiosity leaves the pockets empty.  Right now I have about 12 seedlings that I am taking care of, and this might just be the max number I can handle.  Any other seeds I get will be passed on Tongue
