Have three MKs in bloom from same cross/supplier. One has 5 flowers, very long light pink petals, longest 20", but folded back "shoulders" and lighter color, one has 4 flowers, very dark petals about 12" long and very wide shoulders, and one in between - but all still nice to look at.

this was my first Michael Koopowitz, Its a MUCH larger flower as to width, dorsals, and much wider like 3x petals all the way down with deeper coloring and close to 18" long. less spotting on the top of the petals - deep rose almost the whole length.. .., supposedly the same parents(clones) why I bought more.. .. so was 1st one a better flowering /plant or a MK cross? ..
the last ones I've bloomed are OK and love the petals but not "as nice"..

just googled michael koopowitz photos and answered my own question,
quite a variation.. so will just keep buying and keep the "better" ones..
 
:eek: It's a rare MK semi-album! Hold on to it!
One of the best multi crosses, give them another blooming, all have nice points!
 
which one is the rare semi album??
they are all nice, love the long petals of one, the dark color of the other
 
"duh" thanks - realized the answer after I hit post..
.. it has amazing LONG petals, I think 24"
which is 1/2 again longer than the other two..
