Here's todays new bloom - Bumpkin. Have to check but I don't think I've had this bloom before. The pic does not do it justice. There is much more contrast between the white and pink of the petals. There are two or three more buds so maybe they will look better.

Progress pic on Curly Locks. Branches are getting really thick and chunky.

Talking of rain its really coming down right now and blowing as well. We are getting big swings between rain and showers.
