Hi everyone. Actually Empress' just as big as Nelly or 'Fireworks' and H.F. Young. I've heard/seen that double-blooming clem. when they are not fully matured they have a tendency to have flaws? I'm still a little displeased with its appearance. It looks too much like a crossed b/w Nelly and Fireworks with the bars on the petals? In pictures from their ads. They were advertised to be uniformly pale pink, and not stripped looking is my disappointment.
