I have always wanted Chubby Cheeks because it really introduced the rounded falls form on dwarfs. Well I got one, and have waited and waited and waited. I finally got one bloom......and it is a four-fer! Guess this one should be called Chubbier Cheeks! Hilarious! Hilarious!

Blyth's IB Rumours is becoming a regular in my garden. Never increases much but always blooms.
