Thanks Sherry, The falls on my flower are closer to the falls from your Happy Days. We do have Happy Days here in NZ. The coppery color of falls is more pronounced on my flower than on Happy Days. Could I take a minute to thank everyone who has replied to this thread? It has induced me to look a lot closer at the flower, to identify small differences that I may not have previously noted. I also need to correct flowering time to Early Mid Season; going by the two (only 2) photographs I have kept of this flower. One minute detail I have noticed , which I had never really noticed before is that there is no real veining on falls - the falls are entirely smooth with no apparent veining. Smiling Thank You!

The plant is due to flower again in 2 months, so it will be coming under close examination this year. Specifically will be looking at branching, bud count, style color!

Photo below is the only other one I have of the flower at the moment. Had not posted it before as lighting is quite different, not showing flower in its actual colors. I nearly discarded the plant some years ago and then it surprised me by putting on an amazingly spectacular multi flowered show over the full flowering season - which literally saved its life! It is not a spectacular flower - rather small and unobtrusive but on a good season can make quite a statement and it has been kept for this reason!!!
