This seedling flowered for the first time this morning:
?ui=2&view=att&th=125453d00e7a04db&attid=0.1&disp=attd&realattid=ii_125453d00e7a04db&zw
With this photo I attempted to get maximum depth of field by selecting Aperture Priority on the camera and fixing it at F8, but all the hand held photos were blurry so I used a tripod for this shot.  

Here is a hand-held photo with the camera at total automatic, possibly more interesting than the tripod shot, but note that the deep throat is out of focus:
?ui=2&view=att&th=125454054dd1ebb1&attid=0.1&disp=attd&realattid=ii_125454054dd1ebb1&zw

This is the seedling:
?ui=2&view=att&th=1254542c05949c4e&attid=0.1&disp=attd&realattid=ii_1254542c05949c4e&zw

The pollen parent 'Star of Red Sparkles' I find a difficult parent.  It rarely sets seed pods for me, despite very many hand pollinations.  Mr. Ko sells seeds of this, I have had some excellent seedlings from his seeds.  I wonder how he does it.  This photo shows a flower with six petals, it normally has the usual five  but I don't have a good photo:
?ui=2&view=att&th=1254545cb6860b32&attid=0.1&disp=attd&realattid=ii_1254545cb6860b32&zw

and the pollen parent, which is a very floriferous plant.
