thanks Cathy I do love the color of this one, too!
mine takes some heat, but even during the hottest days, it cools quite a bit at night - and it grows quite cool in winter

I also have a Den Mingle's Sapphire - a primary hybrid of victoria-reginae and gonzalessi - looks quite like the victoria-reginae, tho mine the bloom color is less saturated than this one, but a bit more 'blue' - but of course individual plants' bloom color varies - but the Mingle's Sapphire supposedly takes a wider range of temps ...
- if that's something you might be interested in

That's so beautiful! I want to get another to replace the one I killed.

Me, too. I do need to remember NOT to buy seedlings. I or the heat, maybe the combo, have managed to crater my victoria-reginae. Congrats on yours.
