    Default Blc. George King ‘Serendipity’ AM/AOS

    Purchased this many years ago and 2 falls ago I was moving plant in and moved this one,put it down and forgot it in a full sun location. Poor thing was severely damaged. It is now coming back. It is fragrant but can't say I love the fragrance of it.

    There is a color break in the dorsal...will need to watch the plant for future possible viral problems

    Maybe the dorsal stripe is from the damage before. Perhaps it will not be there in future blooms? It is a nice bit of floof!

    Cheers,

    Ron, is this because the "classic" catts tend to be carriers of viruses (viri?) in general?

    Cheers,

    Classic Catts have been around for quite some time and are more apt to pick up a virus over the years. At least that is what I recall reading

    Well as the flower has matured so has the color and the fragrance. It has lost most of it's pink tome and has taken on a rich peachy color with a rose fragrance
