    A first bloom seedling from Miranda. The flower is 5.75" wide, but a bit scimpy on the lip for my taste. I'll give it some time to grow up before I make a decision.

    Pretty nice for a first-bloomer. You average coerulea often has inferior form, but as you noted in an earlier post, Miranda's plants usually have superior parents.

    I also got one of these from Miranda in Nov 09.

    That's nice, Marni. Do you know the parentage? I just ordered one from Miranda, and wonder if it's the same cross.

    Alexis, I am out of town but will try to remember to check it when I get back.

    Alexis, I just checked the label and apparently I didn't get a printed label from him and have no parentage.
