First bloom for L purpurata
 

This certainly doesn't come to Mauro's standards, but I was really pleased with the color of this first bloom seedling.

Lovely. I am sure I need one. Carol

its beautiful jerry!! Thats the thing with purpuratas each one is unique!
I dont think its fair to judge first blooms, wait till round 2 :) ...
I see the 100 in the background, was bloody hot here all day, i hibernated with the a.c on 70 lol

That's very nice, Jerry. Congratulations. Does it have any fragrance?

Steve

It's very nice, I love the lip and throat.
Joann

Wow! That lip is awesome.

Kim

I agree, the lip is beautiful.

Love the dark lip against the paler purple :cheer:

It really is quite lovely!
