This is one that I bought last summer that was not doing well at the growers. It actually had mold growing on one of the leaves. The flower was so pretty I couldn't pass it by. It's recovering nicely, though it only gave me 2 flowers on a short spike. I'm sure that was probably the best it could do. It will be better next year.

Wow Terri! It's so pretty! I'm glad you rescued it because it would been of shame if it had died. I love the markings on this one. You have so many babies blooming I didn't know what to look at first. Good growing!

It would be very difficult to pass up something this pretty. Nice save !!

Oh that's just gorgeous! Great find, even if it did need some major TLC.

Not sure about the name though.

Way too easy for someone to think "doody" pearl

Although that might just be my immature mind at work.

I've been seeing these (or similar) around here lately, Terri and I don't know what's taking me so long to get one. Seeing yours means another trip to the nursery tomorrow.

Every time I see these, they remind me of candy, just a happy, so very pretty bloom.

You did a fantastic job with this one.

Enjoy and happy growing!

Gorgeous flowers and I love the color combinations. Reminds me of Easter.
