About 9.3cm

That is very nice. The first generation of JF awards were in the 7-8 cm range. Now, most awards are for flowers over 10 cm, and some are 11 and 12. The 12 cm ones (to me) have more sargentianum influence, which is where redness and size come from, but the flowers are a little less round, and the petals are not proportionately as wide as yours.

If yours is as nice as I think it will be, you won’t really want a division of mine.

Au contrare, for two reasons. It gives you insurance should something happen to yours that someone else has it to give you a piece back. But also, different cultural conditions will be interesting to observe. Mine (fron Hadley) was a fairly early FCC 90 pts (1999), so not a large flower (at 9.5 cm NS) compared to some more recent awarded. We'll see what it blooms for me.
