Very, very pretty! Who are the parents?

The bloom definitely improved from first to third bloom. Interesting that many in the greenhouse are showing this trait - I bet it doesn't do it outside. Greenhouses are nice but nothing like good old dirt for a plant.

The parents are two seedlings and I think would be correctly written as follows:

(JIM MCKINNEY X SPACECOAST STARBURST) X (SHERRY LANE CARR X FOOLED ME)

Brooke, I suspect SS might be partially responsible for the edges turning up. I am optimistic that this one might be ok in later years. I agree with you about dirt vs gh. Some of the blooms have not been all that great either. RIBBONS AND THINGS has bloomed twice and neither bloom has been good enough to warrant a picture. On one, the stamens were not fully formed and did not even have pollen. LINDA DANIELS has bloomed several times and none all that great. It is one of the registered ones that cupped. It's odd, some blooms are outstanding and some not so good. Then again, they are just starting. I suspect they will get better.

Some of the first blooms on any cultivar can be pretty ugly. Guess it takes a while to wake up Sleeping Beauty.

I do like the width you have on the petals and sepals and the substance looks outstanding.

JERRY NETTLES has bloomed in the building but had very few buds, the bloom is half the size it should be but the color is outstanding. I know this is not representative of what will happen in the real world but I captured the pollen for later use. Once planted outside, hopefully it will get rebloom.
