Very lovely bloom and it does look like an Optimara. Have you checked their website & FB page? These red/pink bicolors are difficult. . . but I like to play the Optimara guessing game so I will opt for Degas but once again its just a guess. Terri

terri - thanks for commenting! i guess it doesnt really MATTER what it is but i like the guessing game too! :-) i looked up the degas and that does look similar! i did go on the website and looked... but its so hard to tell. heres my guess!

Hmmm, could be. I've grown Gauguin; it is medium/dark lavender & somehow that one didn't occur to me looking at your picture. However, I'm sure the color has a wide range according to growing conditions & my computer may not show the correct color. If you would really like to know, I suggest you send the picture to Optimara or put it on the Optimara ID group on FB. Many people there love the guessing game also! Terri

Thanks Terri! I enjoy hearing others thoughts... even if it doesn't matter what variety it is. ;-) Thanks for playing along!
