This is the first of three buds to bloom (all on different growths) and the flower is much better than the last two times so I am pretty happy. This is the third time it has bloomed in the past year (it was a first-bloom seedling) so I think it is a keeper.

It is actually a little darker and looks very velvety but I can't quite get that to show on the camera. Thanks for taking a look!

Thanks, everyone!
I bought this one from Oak Hill Gardens (I really miss that place) a few years ago as a seedling.

What a beauty! The color is amazing! I miss Oak Hill, too. They live on in my growing seedlings, though
