Thanks all for the nice comments.

I grow it 3 inches from a two foot T5 6400K sun blaster under semi-hydro. Gets 3300 fc at that distance.

I do water all year long, drying completely more during winter Nov-March. Feed on rotation.

The lip color esp side lobes do reminisce of ‘Katia’, and that’s why I adore it.

Yes high high light!

Is trumpet spelled correctly?

Ugh if only they didn't smell like hyacinths.

Excellent flower, Leslie.

I actually named it ‘Trumpette’ thinking it was an adorable description of a trumpet. Now I realized that is far from that as the true definition of what it means is not what I intended.

Ooops.

It will be changed to ‘Pink Trumpet’ lol.

Trumpette sounded like a feminine version of Trumpet (as in Smurfette!) and thought it was a good, different name.

That was my intention until I read the wiki definition of it lol.

Just done the same! For someone not in the US, I'd not made the link.

 

[Ozpaph]

LOL!!!!!
I just thought it was bad grammar.

 

[Guldal]

That was my intention until I read the wiki definition of it lol.

I wonder which meaning is worst: hoe or trumpist? Personally, I would any time opt for the former...but actually naming a plant, you hold dear, as either, might not be the most adequate choice.

You just have to change it and never ever think of it again.

I think I will keep name as is. I will reset a new meaning to the word to mean cute trumpet .

But just remember to keep telling people what you mean. Then I guess it’s fine as is.
