I can't remember his exact words regarding Red Sapphire, but he discouraged me purchasing. His comments definitely did not coincide with the catalog description. He actually recommended Charming Kayla and Calamity Jane instead.. I passed on Charming Kayla for Calamity Jane. He sent Charming Kayla as a bonus . Calamity Jane bloomed within a weeks of receiving it and Charming Kayla has not bloomed. Both were from a fall 2016 order.
