A Friend had given me a small Gluhwein bulb in 2011. I moved it in 2012, and it does increase quickly. So pretty that the bulb warranted a photo:
But I gave mine away last year, too. It's probably just a personal preference, but I didn't care for the color: not peach or apricot, not pink, but kinda in between. I am used to small blooms with all the species I grow. I really don't have a good reference to judge bloom size, but the first two years it bloomed I was completely unimpressed with the color. To me it looked faded when it first opened! The third year when it open, I remember saying to myself, "so that's what it is supposed to look like....". But the ensuing fade was rather quick.
