...is finally blooming for me. I got it as a cutting in the summer of 2007, then ordered a small one from CBFM a month or so later because I liked it so much. It's grown by leaps and bounds and I moved it to a large pot last summer. It put on a few peduncles that stayed dormant until recently. This is a closeup of a single flower because they haven't all opened yet. What I like is the more rose-colored corolla and the distinct white rim.

| That's beautiful! Mine was starting to fail this spring so it's in the process of re-rooting...now I have something to look forward to! This is another one I really like the leaves of as well! Kelly |

| Very pretty Denise...love the pubicalyx blooms. My RHP and Pink silver blooms are almost identical...I was really hoping the blooms on my RHP would be darker but they're not :o( Congrats! |

| Hey there Denise, What a pretty bloom & a wonderful photo! I especially like it's a 3/4 view of the flower, rather than full on; its soft, dusty rose color & that white outline on the rim. What a beauty, congrats to you!! |

| Hmm Denise, Yours looks different from mine. This is what mine looks like. Red Buttons Dee |

Hi Dee! You're photo looks like my 'RHP'...  I have to be careful to keep my pubicalyx cultivars tagged or I get them mixed up. I think my 'Bright One' is going to bloom for me this year, too! Denise in Omaha |

| Dee, Just thought I'd tell you that another peduncle opened, this one being in the sun (whereas the first one was in a shadier spot) and the colors are darker. Interesting, huh? Denise in Omaha |

| Yes it is Denise, Carol said she thought the changing colors had something to do with the sugars..I will see if I still have the email from her. Dee |
