I really think your original flower is spectacular. I would love one just like it. The rose color is so clear and vivid and I love the exoticism of the shape. Will set an alarm in my calendar to follow up with you on this flower next year. Btw, have you considered cutting off the messed-up bloom, up save the plant the energy of supporting it? Also, I would like to hear more about the objection to using pollen from this inflorescence because I can’t believe this is at all a genetic issue, it’s purely environmental as demonstrated by the previously perfect flower.Thanks... I did spray it with safari when I got it last November. No bud in site at the time but it could have been in the process. What is the collective thought on using the pollen?
I plan on cutting the bloom off. If I’m going to keep the pollen I like to leave it on a week after the bloom opens then collect it. So far a response of no on using the pollen and no other responses. I will definitely post the next bloom(s). BTW - this plant has bloomed perfectly the last 3 or 4 years so I’m sure it will be good next year.I really think your original flower is spectacular. I would love one just like it.

I suggest also not to use the pollen on this bloom. A faulty development of the flower parts may also occur with the pollen.I plan on cutting the bloom off.
