Thread OP

Today my India seedling opened for the first time. I love the bloom!! It has all my favorite features: large (4 1/2 inch) bloom, grainy, red with yellow (my favorite color combination), and a sweet/spicy scent. I'm really jazzed!
Working on a name for it....

A friend came over yesterday with his snazzy camera and took the RAW format pictures that are required for registration with the PSA. Here is one of the shots, the colors are a little muted due to a succession of rainy days we have had lately. I'm still loving it!!

Have you named it yet, Hetty?

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
