Beautiful plant I love it ! Hope it keeps blooming like this for you. It probaly was supose to be a fantasy and your getting the two colors. Have you had it long ?
I've seen this happen and seen some on Ebay .But your's is so much more beautiful.
One time I planted Pixie Pink and Pixie Blue in the same pot so I could have pink and blue flowers together !
Your flowers are so big and bright and cheery :))
Thank you for sharing ! Made my evening :))

Hi Allison,

No I just got it today. Thank you so much. I went to the greenhouse to get some polymer crystals as I want to try an experiment with polymer crystals and gel2root...and my google eyes spotted this plant and I thought it was two plants in one but it is only one plant.....well I just had to have it.

I sure hope it keeps blooming like this too. I am giving a friend two leaves off of it so we will see how it goes.

I call it my oddball noid.

Wonderful plant ! I notice a couple flowers way over
the right look fantasy. Can you close up right by the blues ? I do hope it keeps blooming like this !
Did it have any kind of tag ? Surprised it was fate still there ! I know if I saw it this plant would have come home with me too !

Hi Allison,

Yes there are flowers that have the fantasy markings all over and then there are some flowers that have hardly any...some flowers are lighter and some are darker.

The dark flowers are actually purple not blue but it still blows me away how you can have such contrast.

I am going to upload a few different sides of the flowers.

I bet it's one of their fantasy bloomers. So much fun. Now I've head a lot of fantasy bloomers just go solid as they are not stable but your's is extra special with each flowers different. And the purple so brught .
Love it !

Hi Allison,

I think it is a fantasy too but it is the strangest one I have ever seen. I really feel very fortunate to have got it.

Your are so lucky !
Optimara only has 7 fantasy blooming plants. One is Little Hopi
All the others are single bloom so yours must be a Sporting beauty of ; Optimara Cezanne (8943) 01/31/2001 (Holtkamp) Semidouble-double bright pink/purple fantasy. Light-medium green, plain, glossy, hairy, scalloped. Standard
Hope it keeps giving you these wonderous blooms !
