Blc. Copper Queen

[Optimist]

This is Blc. Copper Queen (Toshie Akoi X Bl. Richard Mueller). Wow! This really has the look and feel of a "wild" plant, or so my aesthetic sense screams out to me. I picked it up half dead with a half dozen super dried out Catts in bags at Lowes. It is the first to bloom, and has always been the healthiest of my Lowes Bag Babies. It is just one flower, but I think it is really wonderful! Very peachy/ apricoty. The throat is amazing. No scent, unfortunately. I hope it grows much bigger and gives me a whole lot more next year.
