Comments: July 1: few flowers, cool blossoms- but individual plants vary too much; July 15: nice contrasting flowers - but needs more, nice pattern; Aug 1: not as vigorous as rest of New Guineas, flowers look fake, unaesthetic, cool pattern, dark leaves contrast nicely with bright flowers; Aug 15: non uniform flowering, smallest growth habit of all New Guineas; Sept 1: less spreading, can still see individual plants, messy, less vigorous; Sept 15: not vigorous, nice, small stature.
