For me, the thing that makes Midnight Flyer special is a type of shine that the bloom appears to have. It's as though the surface of the flower has a layer of lacquer or something that reflects extra light. It also grows nicely upright and blooms well. Photos have a hard time showing the shine I refer to, but since I know what it looks like I can see it in this photo. Can you?

Yes I can see it in the photo that is on your website.  How is the growth on this cv ?

Midnight Flyer has normal vigor, similar to Cinnamon Girl, and is very upright. By coincidence I saw a Gator Pride x Midnight Flyer seedling bloom today with the same quality of reflection of light that Midnight Flyer has. I wonder what it is that gives that look.
