It seems that this parent takes a couple more weeks to flower than other populations, but the first to bloom is WORTH THE WAIT, I would say! Even knowing that ‘Arthur Bell’ was LC’s seed parent didn’t prepare me for “not pink” to appear.
(Happy-dance ensues)
I have six(?) more seedlings from the same lot, all looking quite healthy, one other has peeled it’s sepals and looks like it will be a rich deep pink/crimson/purple shade.
This and ‘Outta the Blue’ are my All-Star Mothers this season, and methinks I will lean into it, HEAVILY.

You can see how I was excited about this bud being “almost-red” for a pink, but then…
Then it finished unfurling and went middling-pink.
Bleh. I hates it! Lol
