Very nice, I mine arent quite out yet. I've had mine a couple of years DD, they soon get going. I know a certain online company abbreviated to JP's, doesn't always get excellent reviews but personally I've found their bulbs to be good, that's where mine were from. HB, they will be available to order from this co. around Aug.

Trying to think where I got the original bulb, long time ago. I do know I got the white one (not open yet) from a neighbour who got it from said JP, (she only buys bulbs from them).
When it is fully open it looks a picture next to a magenta Azalea.

Never seen a variegated one, foliage doesn't feed the plant as well as plain green.
