Does anyone have pictures of its initial stages, please? My "Sorbet" (in a pot... one bud) opened for me two or three days ago and so far it just looks rather like Bowl of Beauty. Mislabelled tuber, or will the other tiers unfold later?
Thanks, @Athelas! I suppose it was a mislabelled. It's hard to be too disappointed when this is also beautiful. But I will try Sorbet from another seller next season. Will update in 2-3 years' time.😅
I'd forward the photos to whoever you got it from. It looks like B. of Beauty to me too. At least you should get a refund if they can't send out a replacement of the right variety
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thanks, Fairygirl! I wouldn't have the receipt but I might just email them to let them know they are selling the wrong thing as they are a small-time seller
Just an update. It has opened a little more (in the five minutes of sunshine we got at lunchtime) and there is a whisper of pink about the very middle.
I'm still not sure at all. But I like it whatever it is.
It's ironic that I have a cheap Sorbet tuber that after four years it hasn't flowered 🤣 it will teach me to get a small bargain tuber... there's always next year.

I had ‘Bowl of Beauty’ in a previous garden and I must say it looks like your photo @WAMS
Hopefully someone will be along who can advise.

And thanks for the confirmation, @amancalledgeorge. A glimpse of what I can look forward to!
