Louis Cherry Appaloosa Cherry Appaloosa The Cherry Appaloosa is truly lovely and has pushed Love Story into second place on my wish list. I really like the way the 2 colors are seperate and the white seems to stand out more than Love story. |

Such great photos from everywhere! Nothing better than a beautiful bloom photographed well.
Cherry Appaloosa has been a mixed blessing - one of the best flowers I've seen yet on one of the worst bushes. We've never been able to grow anywhere near enough of it to supply the demand for it but I'm also reluctant to ship it to an inexperienced collector due to the challenges of keeping it growing and upright.
The problems with Cherry Appaloosa came from another classic beauty, Rebellious Spirit, that also had a terrible bush with a good red and white flower. That same cross of Morgan Alyssa x Rebellious Spirit gave us Strawberry Fields Forever and Rebel Rouser, both red and whites with better bushes than Cherry App but not quite as nice a flower. Below is a photo of Rebellious Spirit.

I have no idea what has changed with the shipping but Express mail is now getting here in about 9 days so they arive in perfect condition. Me and Cindy have sort of discovered that by buying each plant individually i dont have a problem with customs so all in all i am very pleased. |

Jordan, I didn't realize that Valentines Day looked like that, I thought it was more like Cindy's Heart. Wow I'm excited for mine to grow big enough to bloom now! Beautiful shots everyone!

Yes, Vday is great. This is my first time seeing it in person. The eye is extremely dark and rich. A good one to have it you're looking to create dark blooms. Maybe a good cross with Dragon's Breath? Or Black Dragon if Vday will set seed.........

Always nice to see such beauties. Does Valentines Day set seeds? Not so far but there is always the chance that the right cross will be made at the right time. Looks like your Burnt Saffron is blooming well right now, too!

I know it's late but if anyone has this post tagged for notification here are some of my September blooms.
Better late than never....this plant is a plentiful producer. Usually 20+ buds at one time getting ready. Enjoy.
