I'm posting this photo to let Cala see what came out of one of her ebay seeds.
This is the Eventide x Bert cross. This flower is 7 1/2" in diameter, not counting the tendrils. It's 10 1/2" long. The tendrils are 2 1/2" long. It looks like the new buds that are about to open are a bit smaller so I imagine those measurements might go down a bit.
It opens yellow and turnes orange by the next morning then darker as it ages. The photo is on the second day.

I know you'll are crazy about pink, but I wanted an orange and can't belive I got so lucky to get one.
