Nice. But cerulea?

a lovely flower, but not coerulean compared to that gorgeous blue sky!

It is a 1st bloom seedling of 'Hector' x self, and yeah, doesn't really look blue with the sky as a background, thought about that after I posted it. Flowers are really big though, maybe 7 inches across on the 1st and largest one that opened...

Gorgeous!!! I am such a fan of this species. Great growing. Is this the tall type or the shorter type? I have a seedling of this selfing and am excited to see it bloom one day.

It's the taller type. I would say it is about 2 feet tall from the top of the basket to the top of the leaf.

Nice. Looks warm and sunny.

Wow, that's a real blue - sky!

Totally unfair to make a blue Catt compete with blue sky. You'll give the poor thing an inferiority complex. It should refuse to ever bloom for you again.
