wilted blossom
The photos are awful, I have not been able to take better ones, I left home to go to my sister's house in southern IL for our family Thanksgiving dinner, and have not returned back home yet. My sister lives in the middle of the Shawnee National Forest, which means I get cell phone and internet access only when the atmospherics are perfect. There are no land based data lines, no cable of any kind, only spotty cellular wireless connections within 10 miles of where I am at. There are too few people for the expense of running wires. But the view is wonderful, lots of trees and wildlife. Tonight is cold, and very clear, with no wind to speak of, so have been able to log in from the house. I'll get home next week and will try to get better photos.
This plant is from the same group of in-bud seedlings that Rick, Ben and James bought. All were quite good, this one had the longest petals, 33 3/4 inches.

Rick, these were so good I raised the prices on the now previously bloomed plants. :evil: oke:
some had darker markings, some had more markings at the base of the petals, all had a nice presentation of the flower, holding the petals out so they hang down without tangling in the neighboring flower.
