Thanks, Vickie! I like mine better, too.
What I did was skim through many of the doubles in the database here on ATP. I noticed most all of the second petals that were larger, had petals that flared outward, not curled inward. When I first saw my bloom this morning, I was actually quite impressed. In fact, I was taken aback and delighted. Then I looked at the other database doubles and saw where my bloom may not really be a desirable trait.
But you are right ... it's all in the eye of the beholder. I actually do like mine, I just think I would like it even more if those second petals opened outward to give it a layered look.
Interesting video, btw! Thanks for sharing it!
