This is first year bloom of Double Dribble but it does not look like the pictures from the online store . Maybe it will mature and send out a true bloom next year.
Here are the pictures on the ATP database, Cinta. You might compare yours with them. You're right though, the first bloom might not be a true comparison. Love the color.

Most of my doubles do not open right away with full-double flowers, Cinta, if that is what you mean. Lots of them take at least a few blooms, if not a whole scape of blooms, to get from being single-flowered to double-flowered. Hope yours will fill out soon for you!
And, yah, what a great name for a basketball shaped flower, drouble dribble

I will give it another year before I decide if it can join the other Noids. It is pretty so I do not mind. I was just a little surprised when it opened.
Me too, Frank, about double dribble.
