My Milt. Gordon Hoyt 'Dolores' is blooming for the first time. One bloom and one more bud. This seemed to take forever to open but it is quite large. It is near crimson in colour, very deep, rich and velvety. I don't think the photo does it justice. The plant has 4 new growths and as soon as the blooms are done it needs re-potting. I got this from Paramount last year.
