Woo Hooo!!!! Finally, I have an umbel partially open on H. ciliata. I got this one from Carol in Oct. '05 and have been ~somewhat~ patiently watching it grow... and grow... and grow and yet never bloom.
Five and a half months ago I moved to warmer climes (north central FL) and it took off like gangbusters. Now it has this group opening and one other ripening. I had to get a step ladder to take a pic because it is blooming at the top of a double tomato cage setup.
Also blooming at present is H. carnosa tricolor, H. cv Pink Silver, H. sp IML 1420, H. pubicalyx RHP and budded out is H. cumingiana.
