Linda, I've had a heck of a week with my seedling and I've taken so many photos, and watched so closely that I'm totally exhausted. All was going fairly well until we had a wind and rain storm, knocked out the electricity, first time all year. The seedling is in the ground, so there was very little I could do to protect her and the storm came suddenly, tho it threatened for hours, it was still a surprise when it hit. It tore several blooms off and left those remaining with holes, whipped leaves and, when the sun came out, the calyx of each of the blooms was sunburned to a crisp and the color bleached outta the blossoms. They never had a chance and the storm happened right as they were at their prime. Attached is a photo - I'm not good, at all, with night shots. But, there is one thing that's REALLY great, they smell oh so good, a soft, clean, light citrus fragrance. I really love yours and hope that these will have a better second flush, poor babies, just seems like everything in the world that could go wrong did.

PS - my digital is nutz, this photo was taken tonight! Sorry about the wrong date.
