Thanks Gillian... this one fell off the table (pretty top heavy) and broke every flower off of the tallest spike! booo hooo...! the second spike is starting to come along...lost most of the "bouquet" flowers that way too!...and the pictoee doesn't have the pretty red stripe as advertised..it's pure white too...and the blossoms are much smaller than the Goretti and Bouquet.

Stunning - not often you see a pure white one - love the green centre. Yes, these blooms are pretty top heavy.

Beautiful.

I wonder why this is called Maria Goretti - possibly, like her, because of its white purity

Did yours topple over too, Elke? I should have been more careful...
I was hoping you might give me some insight into the name, Terry60...Who is/was Maria Goretti? I guess I should really check things out before I ask questions, aye?
She was canonized by Pius XII in 1950...
