I think I said something about new plants, so here is something I can certainly share. The blooms are about 12-15 cm across. I don't remember how many other colors there were. Don't expect to see many at your local garden center or box retailer as it is a tissue culture item. The input is $1.50 or more for the grower, compared to the normal .15 for a seed gerber. Not too many growers are going to take that risk. Those who visit our stores next spring should get a good look at them for a few days hopefully though.
