This one's kind of fun. The cup is orange and black, with a black rim and very narrow dark blue eye. The tepals are very light purple. It's not the most spectacular flower ever, but I like the very high contrast of the colors in the central cup. This plant was raised by Garry Knipe from seeds I bred.

GK 11-143_2. This plant has darker purple tepals, and opens in a funnel shape that flattens out the second day. I like the contrast between the bright purple tepals and the bright orange central cup.
