Here's one I missed!
Applique is a major focus of mine and now after taking the time to look more closely I see that I had failed to notice this one actually is applique. Thank goodness I took this one and only photo of these FFEs.
It being applique is a big positive.
The applique is weak-- not very strongly visible (hence I missed it). To me that is a major negative for an introduction but not a deal-breaker for a bridge plant.
The pink petal color is a big positive for me.
The slight ruffling and the slight bi-coloration-- moderate positives.
The maximally flat presentation is quite nice here in my opinion.
It's all adding up to this one being a worthy bridge plant! I am going to add it into my cross plans for next season. Another good catch via photo review! <patting myself on the back>
