Haven't had a lot of time between nursery and teaching school full-time. I have been lurking though. I found some beaut's today and just had to share!

Here for you viewing pleasure:

Cupid--this one from Australia seems to not form the pointy petals it is pictured with here in the USA, but, you know what?? Who cares?! I am thrilled with this flower and the subtle colors just don't come through perfectly with a camera. The scent is an incredible, creamy-sweet, floral perfume. I love this baby!



Pink Twirl--well it started raining again after a dry spell and I lost a few blooms off this one, but it is still a lovely plumie for sure. Sweet fragrance.



#4222 from Thailand. This one is fascinating. It HAS to be a seedling of Pink Pansy--just has to be. The scent is indentical to Magnum Opus too, that sort of gardenia plus something else I can't put my finger on... very fragrant. I put my last PP bloom next to the inflo for comparison. #4222 is much more ruffled and overlapped, and is starting to form tight bunches of flowers exactly like my Thai seller's picture. A true winner!



Black Velvet--this beautiful blood red bloom fades to a lovely pink with a large golden center that is not so obvious when it is first opened. Mild, sweet scent.
