− | When I bred [[Sunshine On Clouds]], I loved the behavior but wanted a whiter flower. With Brilliant Bouquet I failed to get a whiter flower, but kept all the good behavior, improved the foliage, improved the flower form a little, and got a marvelous performer. Sunshine On Clouds often covers itself in bloom, and Brilliant Bouquet brings that to a new level, at times giving a "cushion mum" effect. The above photo is ungroomed except for liveheading the previous day, and it is unnecessary to remove the spent blooms because they close well. With 5 branches, 28 buds, some bud building and some rebloom, that means a long season covered with flowers. Excellent form for a northern rebloomer, as you can see below. This whole lineage has acted as color clarifiers in my breeding. An average increaser. | + | When I bred [[Sunshine On Clouds]], I loved the behavior but wanted a whiter flower.
