thanks for looking at the flowers. they wouldn't mean so much if you didnt loook at them!! :bowing

Are you referring to the lighter appearance of this bloom?

the color is fine. the flower display is somewhat wonky and the flower count is low for the plant. A Hello blooming ya know :)


otherwise very happy I am with the plant. Fred does good work for us to enjoy.

I love the color, great first bloom. I'm still waiting for mine, I think I got a particularly small one but the new growth is over twice as large as the previous, definitely catching up ;).

Got it. First bloom at times is not precisely the plants best.

I feel the same, mine is a little lack lustre and the plant is one of my least vigerous bifoliate. What I really want is a non coerulea one, which seem practically non existent
