Did the other bloom stay white like this?

the first one lost the calyx, the coralla split at the top but the bottom dropped out with a nice skirt. another was so deformed and color never changed, ripped it apart. third stayed white, no drop for FIVE days then went dirty creamy, maybe a little orangish. i'm dying to go rip this bloom apart and pollinate it!

Ok, ladies, done! i picked a buttefly bloom still yellow, would probably open tonight or tomorrow and guess what!! it had fluffy pollen. the CS or DP has great pollen. so i have CS/DP on BF and BF on CS/DP!!! praying it takes, gonna put another dose on them tonight!

Tonny, is a double, the double hasn't come out on the last few blooms. the insides are so funny when i rip them apart, appendages everywhere.
i have two more open blooms, both are white, little yellow here and there. guess i'll hit them with the pollen tonight.


Arlene, is it the same as you postet before with the color change? Its really beautiful and I like the shape a lot. Good luck with pollinating it lol What will you throw onto the stigma?

Newberry, FL(Zone 8B)

Tonny, is the same, skirt won't fall. butterfly!!!!


Help!!! I need glasses or to improve my concentration ability lol and start to close-read the posts lol

Good choice. Crossing my fingers for a double pink one or maybe a double creme changing to pink :-)
