While I've been growing this cultivar for over a year, the original plant has been consumed with moss and refuses to bloom. This fall, I had an opportunity to get a 'new' plug from Europe and jumped at the chance. The new divisions, mostly unencumbered by moss, have prospered and flowered ...
Here's a flower of the normal, little weedy guy that many have spreading throughout their collections with the 1st pic next to it for comparison - kinda hard to believe that they're the same species....
I did have one pic with my finger and the 'Betty's Bay', so I attempted to match finger-sizes to be able to roughly compare the cultivar with the little weedy variant (from an old thread - naturally, they are not facing the same direction - but it should give you an idea...):
