Sean, I'm sorry I'm out of the loop here... didn't know your pond was apart. Sorry about that.
Love the hybrid, looks like it has a lot of nice qualities.
Miami Rose is on my "love" list this year. At first the blooms were small, but it has really taken off...I love it! It's got great color, great shape, not too big yet not too small, and absolutely fabulous pads.
Great pics.
I like the Prince, too.
Rich kept one at the New Orleans Botanic garden display for years but I believe I may be the only person who has it anymore. I keep it around because it doesn't take up a lot of space and is one of the only purples I still have in my collection.
That's really to bad. If it doesn't take up so much space, and isn't prone to burn as much as the Midnight, then why do you suppose it isn't on the market? Seems to me that those are extremely valuable qualities; certainly something I'd look for when buying. Not even to mention the beauty of the flower.
