Here is another new CV introduced at the beginning of 2011 by Charlie. I originally chose this one because the colors of the blooms looked like a nice blend of orange, red and brown which is in between what I already have so I thought it would add more variety to my color spread. I also think very highly of the parents Saffron and Heartbreak Hotel and that would contribute to a strong, pretty and dependable bush which is important to me for outside landscaping purposes.
Boy has this bloom impressed and really surprised me. There is a lot of color to them and they are always changing which is very exciting. I thought it would be a solid colored bloom but there is a lot of pattern and variation in colors for each bloom. I wonder if HBH's genes are helping out in this area. Furthermore this plant likes to bloom a lot and it shows a lot of strength in growth and budding.
I'm very happy with this CV as it was not one of my top favorites when I ordered it but it has definitely worked it's way towards the top of my list.
