| I bought an ech irrestisible earlier in the summer, it has yet to bloom. Came across a really nice one this week, and bought it too. It had 2 blooms fully out, and a bud or 2. The blossoms are similar to double decker or pink poodle, I think. Anyway, the third bud blossomed and it is nothing like the others...not a double, not pink! Kind of orange and yellow...similar to some of the big sky series. This plant has only 1 stem...and I've certainy never seen totally different blooms like that on one plant.
Comments? Have you ever seen this? |

| The doubles start out looking like singles and then fill into the middle over time. This one starts out orange and then turns pinkish/purplish so it is a bit different depending on the age of each individual flower. |

| Thanks, ctopher! That is exactly what is happening. I like surprises like that! |
