The first bud on my Firefly opened, and boy does it look different than it did last year! This is the color I was expecting!

This plant is looking a lot better...healthier, happier...since I buried it in manure and mulch, and gave it some Epsom salts. Oh, dern, I should have included the broken pot I used to shade it in this picture. I haven't gotten around to backfilling with manure and mulch yet either.

Taken with a new camera app on my smart phone that is very cool. Color is very accurate!
