Amazing flower! The texture reminds me of hibiscus.

Pure elegance, Marie. Very Special bloom.

Valentines Day!! That is just gorgeous!

I am liking it! Pretty one there with nice full form and the color variation and texture are both nice.

Wow!

Printmaster, your bloom is gorgeous.

Marie

Wow, that is lovely.

Marie and Printmaster, your flowers are beautiful!

The last bud is now open

Also I found out that I have another Sab Samboon with one bloom opens this morning, but it looks like the one Lonnie has.

Sab Samboon better name - Strawberry n Cream - looks so yummy

The 4pm one is the same flower?? It looks completely different! Crazy!

Candice, yes, it is the same bloom

I was surprised too. Today it has more red.

Crazy.

Those are nice, stunning, huge flowers! I really love this variety, especially in the darker hued blooms. Not very surprising though that temperature, micro-nutrients etc, age and all effect the bloom color. The same is true of so many of my other plants like my African Violets that it can be crazy seeing what I get from one season to the next even with the same plants. ;)
