    Very pretty and I don't recall seeing one this color before. I have had a few, they are great growing plants and bloom over and over as well...

    Thanks to everyone for the compliments. Maura, it is a mini. It looks bigger than it really is, maybe an effect of the angle I took the photo. The plant is about 3-4 inches high and the blooms are maybe 1 inch, maybe a little less.

    Oh, good, Carmen - I thought my brain was failing me - again. It packs a real punch for such a small plant! Nice work.
