LF is one of my favorites, but I have a story to tell.
Two or three years ago I had an awesome stalk of her that I took into our show.
The terminal was open, and another bloom was in bud but opening. Through heroic
efforts I managed to get the second bloom open. It was so much darker than the
terminal that I got an HM. If it had still been a bud I would have expected a
blue.
She does fade. Still Dykes-worthy, IMNSHO.
