When this bloom opened this morning I would have never guessed it would look like this...I'll give one hint: It is a 2013 offering

That is a great guess Patrick...but not the correct one.

Here is another picture this time from late afternoon as it starts to lighten up

Cooler weather does strange things to bloom color. I don't know what this one is.

OK - two more shots, one morning and one afternoon to see the color progression.  This blooms is just absolutely gorgeous!  Getting closer to what it is supposed to look like...

OK - Day 3 and looking more similar to it's normal appearance.  Still much more pink and purple than what it is normally like.

Hi Aleksandr!  Great guess, but still not the right one...

It is a three word title with the same second word.

We have a winner!  Way to go Aleksandr!  I guess this one was a bit challenging...

Here is a pic from the online store of what it more normally looks like.

Darren,

Here's one for you to guess, this is the winter look here in Ohio, it's growing near the ceiling of the sunroom so doesn't get much sunlight if any.  It's from hvh, doesn't look anything like it does when it's outside.
