Kell!, I was thinking of you when this was getting ready to bloom.

I got it 4 months ago, as an unknown pink. From Preissel's book, I think it's an Insignus pink. The calyx has 5 splits, and the anthers are fused. Please correct me if I'm wrong. It's grown more than twice the size in the 4 months. This is day 2. Saturday evening they were closed and yellowy green. Sunday morning they were like this. They haven't darkened, but did open more last evening, and were closed up again today. It's been cool all day, about 60F/15C.

It's the very first pink brug that I've ever seen in real life! There's lots more buds too. Oh happy day!
