Not very good photo, but this is the backside of one of the cot leaves on the 4.80 Wixom slammer. Was really deep purple for a couple of days.

6.23 Konieczny. Plant is only about 3 1/2 feet tall. Have been pinching the blooms off to let plant grow. This MB appeared 2 days ago. Curious to see what it becomes. Only one other bloom(which I pinched off) in the "cluster". Blossom appeared at the third truss.
