I am amazed at the rapid growth and increase rate since the day I planted this SDB in July of 2005. The astonishing part is the number of bloom stalks (5), and four flowers opening at the same time today. This all happened in spite of severe rains, thunderstorms and very high winds overnight. Colors are outstanding! The following information is from the AIS Check List Database: "(Paul Black, R. 2002). Sdlg. H238CC. SDB 15" (38 cm) M. "S. and style arms mauve rose; F. dark red texture-veined black, wide mauve rose band; beards old gold, violet base; slight spicy fragrance. Snugglebug X Buddy Boy., Mid-America 2002."
