The back side of that Den Love Memory 'Fizz' finally opened all blooms on the back side and all stayed open for at least another month before the first side to bloom started dropping. And of course I never got around to taking a picture of it. Maybe next year.
Meanwhile, I was liking that one so much, decided to get another nobile. Fell in love with Den Oriental Smile 'Butterfly' and snagged it at a great price. Got it here and it decided to bloom. When it opened up, I was so disappointed because it didn't have the orangey peachy color I was anticipating. Almost contacted the seller. So happy I didn't. 
Apparently it's one of those that has to morph through color changes. First picture is week 1, second picture week two... Hmmm, it's definitely getting there. ...

Wow, like having 3 plants, but only takes up the space of one. No complaints about THAT color!

That color development is fascinating!

Lovely blooms, interesting that the colour changes as it ages. I've never read that in any of the articles and the photo I've seen always show the sunset range of colours of the older blooms.
I'll have to keep this in mind as I have the same plant.
I've also got Oriental Smile 'Fantasy'

Yeah, that's why when it first bloomed I thought, What the heck! Looks nothing like the pictures!! Figured either sent me the wrong plant, or mine was a dud (happens sometimes). Then all of a sudden Boom! Here came the colors. Pretty sure 'Fantasy' will be the same way...they appear pretty similar.
