These are two of my all time favorites. I've got RLC George King' Serendipity' and LC Busy Bev 'Blue Jewel'. I think everybody knows George King, so I don't feel like I need to say anything about that, but I would like to comment on why Busy Bev takes one of my top spots.
For one, the color is amazing. It also has great form. I love the fat round petals with the darker colored wide lip. But it also blooms several times a year. It blooms as soon as the new growths mature (you can actually see the buds peeking out before the growth has even finished growing). It blooms on every new growth. The one in the picture is a smaller division I made from my big one to give to a friend, but my big one is constantly growing, and the growths don't mature at the same time, so it always has growths at different levels of maturity, so they don't bloom at the same time, which means it is practically always in bloom. My big one blooms probably four or five times a year. It's also just a vigorous, hardy plant. I would recommend it to anyone. I got it from Odom's. I haven't checked in a while, but if you want one, check there first.
