My Optimara is blooming again (just went out of bloom a couple of weeks ago). This variety has not been ID'd. Well, it was sold to me as 'Texas,' but its obviously not that, as the bloom is fuchsia-pink. The seller admitted he wasn't sure of the variety. He's sending me another plant, by the way. Which I thought was nice of him, as I don't have to send this one back! The pic is pretty true for color. The white is what has me intrigued. Is it considered a thumbprint? Last time it bloomed it also had the white, although a little less, so I'm supposing its not a fluke.
