Purchased this seedling from Hadley in 2019 and eagerly awaiting its first bloom! Bud is huge and seems to keep growing
! Praying it opens by NCOS show next weekend. #anticipation!!
It opened, and is honestly unimpressive, especially considering the size of the bud. With its two parents, I expected more (maybe I just have no taste!). First bloom, so maybe it will improve.
It's like winning a lottery with these complex hybrids.
Majority will be good average, and many will be duds one way or another. Only few will be very good to wow.
That's why we keep shopping
I love the colors, it looks like a Valerie Tonkin. I would bloom it again. I’ve found complexes to be extremely variable year-to-year, so it may improve significantly on the next blooming.
