This is its first bloom in my possession. Wow! I'm loving this! Weird thing though.... my friend and I both bought a "Black Widow" from the same nursery at the same time. Hers bloomed VERY dark and with a yellow center. Mine seems more blood red. With red center. There is some definite variation in this hybrid. I think it's a completely different Color.

Here is mine: :

Here is my friend's Black Widow that came in the same shipment to nursery:

Quite different!!

Which is your favorite?
