The plant tag said something about a unique branching habit, so that it blooms much more profusely than other Eustoma. Don't believe everything you read on tags, but this happens to be very true. I was exceedingly impressed by the fact that the plants always had a handful of flowers apeice, when my "Echoes" series would have about one at a time.

The best part yet- it sets copious seeds. Wether or not it grows true from seed I shall only wait to see.
