The more I look at this cv's page the more enamoured I become with it... I read it's a good grower and a midsized bloom, but how's it to take care of, Charlie? Do its colors seem reliable? Any more photos?

I don't know much more about Blueblood yet. The first flowers were intriguing and it thrived well enough for their to be more plants available than I need for establishing stock plants of it. In about 6 months we will know a lot more as the cloned plants take shape and have been blooming in 8 inch pots prior to being transplanted to 5 gallon stock plant pots. The color is unusual and the name fits it well so we shall see if it performs up to current expectations.

As a matter of fact, I did just take a Blueblood photo the other day. The plants I have of it are in 8 inch pots and have been growing well, and blooming well for the last month or so. They are tall, upright growers and I recently cut wood from most of them. I want to see how they grow back now, how bushy they get after this pruning. The flowers are pretty consistent in color from one to the next, about 6-7 inches.
