Still playing with evening shadows....really just an excuse to go out and get another whiff of the aroma.....

Glad you all like my pictures.....so many prettier brugs to come I am hoping. I have lots of cuttings from DG'ers that are doing well and will update their progress as they begin to perform. (Fingers crossed).

The only cutting that has buds is one of my Double White ones that I put in the GH last fall as a backup. The mother plant spent the winter in the ground and is beginning to get new leaves, but no sign of buds yet.

These CG blooms are MUCH bigger than last year....I'm amazed. The open bloom in the picture at 9:22 this morning is 14" from where it attaches to the branch to tendrils. The one in this image is 15" ! I don't think I measured them last year, but I know they weren't this big. (Gotta be the liberal dose of cow manure I used on all my beds last fall and again this spring.)
