Enchanted is growing well and has lots of blossoms, even a few are dropping. The question is with regard to the form of the flower. It is obviously a double, but appears to actually have three corollas, though one has not completely opened up yet. As well as the density of corolla there appears to be a problem on many of the flowers wherein one tendril, from calyx to tip, is tissue thin and stunted. It equates to a genetic anomaly and may be too early to really decide if it is a candidate for the compost heap or not. Is there any chance that this could actually be triple rather than double ? Sounds rather strange to me, but I don't know much about Brugs yet.
Picture 1 is the thin and distorted corolla.
