MM 17-95a. When I first saw this flower, I was intrigued by the dark rim on the edges of the tepals. Unfortunately, I am pretty sure it was due to a hot spell we had as the bud was opening, not some sort of color breakthrough.

Here's the same plant a year later, and as you can see there's no dark edge.
