We speak often about how the color of flowers can be
more or less intense in different climates and how the
colors sometimes change during their maturation process
and here is a prime example. N. ‘Dreamlight’ as a
young flower is above and N. ‘Dreamlight’ as a mature
flower with T. ‘Sweet Love’ at the right. It’s easy to see
that they are the same but changed & equally lovely.→
