It's been open for about a week now, i think they last about 3-4 weeks. one of the pollen is going to a friend and the other i may just keep for the next bloom on another plant. I haven't really thought of breeding anything with it, maybe on a very nice JF. This is my fourth kovachii bloom so it's still relatively new to me. My last one has a huge petal spread and very flat, this one has a good balance and dark.
