Laguna Starlight

[blupit007]

 I got Laguna Starlight summer of 2011 as a 4".  It has grown nicely, the limbs are upright.  It bloomed yesterday for the first time.  It was very dark, similar to Gabriel, but the bush is a huge improvement.  The bloom weighed down the thin branch that it was on.  I think that once the plant grows stronger, it wont have this problem. The trunk is solid.

 Here are day one and two photos.  Day one was at first opening and was reflexed, it flattened out to a big beautiful bloom on day two. Don't know how long it would have lasted since it committed suicide just after taking the photo... I brought all my plants outside for some warm sunshine.  A gust of wind came along... oh boy.  The plant is fine, but the bloom got all jacked up!

 Overall, Im a happy camper with this one!  Nice job Charlie!!

Wow!  What a beauty, Kristen! That's much darker than the flowers we've seen in the greenhouse!  I may have to try that one in the house!

Definitely bring one in Cindy!  These colors are great, might be a new favorite for me.  It has gotten a lot of response on Facebook too.
