Oh, thanks for the suggestion Tom. I think Awesome Blossom looks more yellow on the falls... and more ruffled too, I think
I just went out to look again so I wasn't swayed by the colors in the pictures. The colors are more saturated when it opens, then fades.
STD's are peachy w/ going more towards pink at the midrib, w/ a bit of a greenish streak @ midrid.
Falls are white w/ 1/4" band of peach around edges which fades out as flowers age. Hafts are deep peach/apricot, going a bit pinker towards the beard.
Beard is golden/orange, going to white at the tip.

Looking at more pictures of Barbara My Love, the beard does seem closer, but *maybe* fatter, as is the edging on the falls. I'm wondering if climate, or cultural conditions could be the difference.. ??
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.
