More spots!

These are two different plants, photographed side by side.
On the right is the well-established 'Hilo Sparkle' cultivar of Bllra. Big Shot. Notice that the spots do not extend to the tips of the petals.
On the left is a newer Bllra Big Shot 'Pink Leopard' cultivar with spots going all the way to the tips of the petals.
As an interesting side note: Hilo Sparkle had been growing inside the house. Pink Leopard was growing outside under the pool screen. While Hilo Sparkle bloomed first, they both have a similar size.
