Spectacular flower
I have purchased (way too many) seedlings over the past 3 years. This season I was awarded with a spectacular flower from a previously unbloomed, and as yet unnamed, plant (Grand Dame x Pink Passion).
I could not submit it for AOS judging, as the spike hit something before I got it staked, so it has a 'kink' in the middle of the flowers. Also, somehow the anther got knocked off the first flower to open.
I will have to grow it on, so I can submit it with a properly staked spike next year. I have not measured the flower yet, as it is just barely opened, but I just had to share this one.
