This is the first bloom for this one. The first bud opened yesterday. It opens very pale and then darkens. Unfortunately I have not detected any scent yet. Can hardly wait to see what happens with future blooms.

Sometimes fragrance takes a few days to get going. Don't give up hope...

Great colour from the first picture. Love these soft blues.

Had to look at this one. The hybrid name says its an old cross. Neat to see it around! This is a cross by Mantin originally made in 1897.

Love the lip, it seems to have taken the best of both parents.

Very cool.
