I am amazed that the difference is so large. Beautiful all the same!

Dain,

It is really something how a bloom can look so different. The original one of Rinoa's is somewhere in between your. It had more solid white as the second photo and yet more red in central part of petals.

There is no telling what you will get from year to year or time of blooming.

Rick, the first time it bloomed, it was spot on to her picture. This one is definitely one of my favorites.

Yah Dain. That is definitely the same.

it would be one of my favorites.

Hotter weather definitely intensifies color. The original bloom even has "fire" coming out its throat, like an opal! LOL!!

Beautiful bloom, Dain.
