I remember seeing this at the HVH opening in January.  Is it safe to assume there will be more for sale this fall?

Maybe in the fall. Most of these since January have gone out to wait list people. Mostly I am hoarding them so as to have enough stock to make an ample supply for next year. It is a really different flower that I think most will like. The texture is like that of Byron Metts,a unique bloom itself.

Ah good to know Charlie,

I think I will wait till next January to order one, It looks like a really nice plant to have in a collection.  How does it compare to White Lightning?  I know both have huge blooms and are High Voltage self crosses, I was curious if they are pretty similar in other ways besides their parentage.

White Lightning is similar to High Voltage but Strawberry Cream is not very similar to either of them other than having white as primary color. You will see what I mean once you have a Strawberry Cream bloom in hand.

Yah I realize that most of these blooms qualities are best seen in person.  Hopefully I can check this one out soon.

White Lightning bloomed today.  It will be interesting to see how Strawberry Cream compares!

Gah, missed this one today.  Are there going to be more in the store in January?

Beautiful, Chris! I love the pure white of that flower. When conditions are right for it to be big, it can reach 10". I would say that Strawberry Cream averages a little larger than White Lightning but both are gorgeous.
