She is not a gardener. I asked if she had even ever fertilized it and she said no. She also said there were no buds on it earlier in the week for she was out back and said she would have noticed so many buds hanging own. I told her they do not appear that fast. LOL

I had given her this plant as a 7 foot standard in a 5 gallon pot a couple of years ago. It was a seedling of mine that was nice but not special. I actually ahd given her a few but this is the only one that survived her care. LOL

You cannot tell by the picture but the blooms hung in sheets and go back into the plant so you cannot see them all in the picture. There were hundreds of blooms. Even my husband was impressed.

I was so sad I was too late to see them in their prime. Casey has promised to call me at the next flush if she notices them. LOL

Here is looking under 1 layer of branches to show how the blooms go so deep.
