This is Eric Young x Waunakee Sunset purchased as a small seedling. I saw the bud about a month ago, but was mostly ignoring it since it was a small plant with just a few leaves. NS = 10.5 cm. I am inclined to grow this for another year or two. Mike
I should have been more precise in my wording. I do like the flower. I think it has good form and size. The plant is small, but very robust and I suspect the flower will be larger in the future. Also, our winter has been warm and cloudy, and I believe that a normal, cooler winter will result in more color. If my assumption is correct, then this will end up being a keeper, but I won't know for sure for another year or two. Mike
