Yay besseae hybrids!
More like someone hacked my brain again…!!I wonder how they hacked Heather's account!
If you have a way to keep it cooler the color will probably be better. I just have to rely on dumb luck, I don't have a way to cool the barn.Update: it’s got a sheath so experiment #1 is a success! Good thing since I’ve bought several more test plants over the last year!
Yeah, in a couple months I’d have that! I will say that we keep the house on the cool side and despite the amount of sun, the kitchen is one of the cooler rooms. Growing it in rockwool and perlite also may be helping. Not expecting a miracle tho, I’ll just be happy to bloom something I’ve had long enough to be responsible for.
…I’ve kept it pretty cool in the window the last two months. Weather cooperated and got 53-62 degrees overnight generally. Days 70-80. Color is about the same. 
Petals seemed a little wider to me on the first day it was open (yesterday) but petals were already waving by the end of the day.
