I decided to post photos of these two once more. They were both photographed at the "height" of their size and shape. Which one do you think is the best flower, and why?

First plant to flower, flower #4

Second plant to flower, flower #1

That second flower is either a sumo wrestler or it is asking for a hug!

I favor # 2, fat petals and dorsal. I really like the color, and #2 is better colored. I really am not that fond of the shape. But as Herman Pigors told me, you breed first for color, then for size and finally you get the shape straightened out. This line of breeding still needs work.

I like #2, it shows both parents.
