I personally prefer my HT blooms to have a minimum of 25 petals. I think the form suffers with less as they all seem a row of petals short. It also makes a difference grooming as removing 2 or 3 petals from a bloom of 20 is a much bigger deal than removing 2 or 3 from 30 petals. Just my opinion....
