....always taking a closer look!

I had no luck in germinating very old saved seed from 2009....so purchased big box available seed last minute. They are in bloom now - "Giant Cactus Flowered Mix" from Ferry Morse. Here is a light dirty pink which I call Medusa.

Here is the same flower 5 days later....

I'm looking closely at some of the yellows and oranges...

Most of the flowers are about 3.5 inches, the largest in the garden now is 4.75". Trying to get a feel for the variability of flower form, which for the most part seems quite subtle.
