Tropicals & Tender Perennials: From Bud to BLOOM!, 0 by MsKitty

Christina, (first, thanks!) I wonder if the bloom color has a relationship with the Eugene, Oregon environment. It's been really cool and rainy here for the past 3 weeks, and I've had it under a small lamp that supposedly mimics sunlight and near a window. I also feed it really weak fertilizer and add H2O2 in the water. Also, they are just opening up - is it possible they will "darken" into a more pinkish color in a day or so?

Here is a closeup of one bloom that had just opened.
