Clare,

They are between 4-5 inches. I already heard the debate on Pals---but I am calling it that for a while until Lyndi in Singapore comes up with something else. That way everyone will know what is being referred to. The other alternative is to keep saying to people, "Yeh, that one that is from Singapore that isn't really forma lutea but is being called that." Reminds me of "The artist formerly known as Prince".......remember that (oops, I am now showing my age. LOL) Oh--the headaches. I wish someone would officialy name it but as it is strongly identified with Lyndi, I think she might be the one to do it. I do suspect it is somehow related to Celadine because of flower and fragrance similarities, but, the flowers are much bigger and the leaves do not have that pronounced double vein, nor are they the same shade of green with that glossy look like Celadine. Here she is again today---two newly opened flowers.
