Well Steve, apart it could have a better angle it looks pretty good, what is it like for size? is it under the ring? Good colour, nice centre. The best thing about that variety is it does not damp off, the petals are very firm.
Nice one Steve

If I can get anything that good I will be happy ! Good guess Raymond your not far off there I've seen some of the scaur miniatures and they look good unfortunately no one seems to be growing them. I can't comment on this one yet it's the first time I've grown it I will let you no in a few weeks . It has got a curved stem it's the first flower out for me out of 540 plants so they can't all be perfect this is where good staging comes into play. |

Its not the way you've grown it , I think it's the habit of the plant it's the same for me and it was like that last year but it grow out of it and made some decent flowers so just leave it and let it get on with its self . |

Nice one Steve Hi Ian I never ringed it but I think it's just over, got a second one out and it's a lot better it's got more depth and fuller at the back, but it's over size, so now I know to leave buds on longer and maybe leave a wing bud on till it breaks it's bud. |

Hi Steve I had some cracking blooms of it grown on a side bud leaving all the rubbish on. Third week of May stopped in the pot then two stops better more if possible. It's a big un.
I believe Dave Spencer has 50-60 plants of it in!

Lou78W I only found out the other day. When all the others that bought jersie in Kent had no cuttings he was sitting on plenty. He will probably have the same number as pot tuber.
