duchess of edinburgh starting to open, the usual greenish sepals. glad there wasn't more winter damage this year and i pruned a bunch of it off by accident in early april. so luckily to have much at all. looks like it will be loaded with blooms.
when these clems establish they are very nice plants. i have a couple of others that have never established in another garden, i am probably going to give their real estate to someone else next year!
