Need your help, need ID

Once blooming.. the only thing I can really tell is I dont think its a Alba, as the foilage isnt grey green at all,

Its also a little later bloomer as the first near full bloom was today..

Once Bloomer, 2 to 2.5 inch blooms size, with a outer layer lighter then the middle.. but even the outer is a solid pink..

Half open

Near full, I think tommorow it will lay a little flatter with slightly yellow stamens showing.. doesnt appear to have any button eye..

Buds

My first thought is a gallica of some sort.. but heck it could be anything! I cant seem to clearly match it with anything common.. It will survive down to -25 at least, as thats where I got it from, rapid growth from suckers, this bush is 3.5-4 feet by 4 feet wide..

There are quite a few gallicas that have this color pattern- deeper pink center, lighter edges. Post the fully open picture when you have it.

The half open flower and bud on first picture look like Ispahan? But there are multiplr possibilities.

Hey Christy I got your message, I'm guessing you're talking about the 2nd plant on this thread? I switch my plants around all the time so they can get equal amount of sun/light, so I'm not sure what you mean by closest to my window :P. If that's the one you're asking, it is a Faucaria, most likely a Faucaria tigrina. It is a succulent not a cactus, and it is in the mesembs family, so not the easiest succulent family to grow. But, it is considered one of the easier mesembs. Just give it lots of light, and make sure the soil is not peat-based, preferably have a good amount of pumice/Turface and grit for good drainage and you should be good to go. The plant looks quite healthy at the moment, I usually only water them when the leaves are a bit wrinkly, so that's usually once every 10-14 days. Best of luck!

Hi Kay, Yes it is a very pretty bloom that has interesting patterning , just not Picasso's Intrigue . I really wanted Picasso's Intrigue Now I have to go in search of it again which is not as easy as in your country . You have so many more daylily growers to choose from .

My first thought and my last thought was Ispahan, Thanks Olga, I think that might be right.. I will continue to observe, the orginal plant was around 6-7 feet tall or so, which would be correct.. If it continues to grow upwards, I think this is correct, I cant find anything else that is even close really.. I went through all of Rogers Roses last night..in pinks non recurrent, under damasks, centifolias and gallicas. I think my wife was going to kill me.. LOL
