Oh, and here is Proteus in the fall. By the way, Proteus (in Greek Mythology) was the guardsman for Neptune's kingdom. If you wanted to pass, you needed to grab him and hold him until he became human. In the meantime he turned into all sorts of ferocious beasts. So I'm sure that this flower is called Proteus because it changes so much between spring and fall flower.
Proteus is a pruning group 2 (Prune immediately after first bloom by approx 1/3). I have seen that it can be much more double than the one that I posted, by the way. Mine's never done that though.
