Very nice colour on that clone.

Thank you! and a reliable bloomer

 

[Denver]

one of the best I have seen in terms of color! I love the consistent blush on the petals and dorsal!

 

[MaryPientka]

Very nice colour on that clone.

Thank you! It's rather evenly colored through the petals and dorsal-with a narrow darker band on the edges. The pouch is slightly darker and bluer than the photo shows.

 

[Kawarthapine]

Nice dark colour...

... and a reliable bloomer.

what could be better than that?!

Nice, good color and form.

 

[SlipperFan]

WOW! That looks just about perfect.

 

[abax]

Perfect and with a sultry beauty...so dark and the margins
of the petals are dark as well. Good growing.

 

[Jeffrey]

Very nice. I get alot of reflex on my dunkels but not the regular type.

 

[MaryPientka]

I have another dunkel that reflexes, but this clone will stay fairly flat. I bought it from Sam. I'll check the label in the morning.

That is absolutely superb. Couldn't hope for better.
