This late bloomer is probably the last of my crop of Double Queens to bloom and is one of the prettiest. Out of maybe 50-75 plants, this is the only one with some veining on the outside of the petals. A definite keeper. Mary/Gainesville,GA where the bugs are really waking up.

I absolutely agree, Mary. Breeders should be more interested in outside patterns.

VERY PRETTY - I shall be interested to see it when fully open as the outer sepals are often very coloured especially when cold and sunny but later ones and inner ones have little colour. Matthias - some of us are

This one is nice Mary. I especially love the appearance of the buds with their colored tips (to my eye, there's a thin line between most veining and 'muddy', but this one is great since the veining contrasts with the alternating pale backs of adjacent sepals).
