love it. hate it. do not know what to do with it. and over time these reactions might change. hate it can change to okay. or even to love it. or do not know what to do with it can change to an idea. a direction. a possibility to shape a flower. what way will the possibilities turn ? … sometimes things just need to ferment, to steep, to come into focus…

I’m all for a wait and see –
I agree beth. I make my best choices for the room i have got and the time frames i have set and go with that. Thanks !
We need a bigger boat.
Yup.
That’s a beauty, John.
Thanks Dan. I try not to put my opinion on every flower. This one has some good qualities, some in the middle, and some to me that are iffy. It is a first year bloom but at the end of its three year cycle. Which puts it in the slim chance of finding a spot. However that does not mean it cannot be on someone else’s favorite list.
Most of the ones we have are the standard orange. We have a couple others, but nothing as interesting as what you normally show.
