Mendocino Red "Sang": Rooted Cutting in Bloom

Back in September 2010 I first saw a "Sang" in Mendocino, CA that just blew my mind. I've been determined to have this clone since then. My first post about this tree on this forum was:

The tree grows on the property of Café Beaujolais in Mendocino. With permission, I obtained 8 cuttings in November 2011 and have successfully rooted 5 of of these. They were potted-up in January and have been growing out of doors since February. To my surprise all of them are producing mature buds and the first one bloomed a couple of days ago. It stands at 10 inches in height.

Very nice thanks for sharing

Wow, that .is soooo pretty bloom.

Thank you for sharing her beauty w0ith us.

Allan,
Congratulations on rooting those 5 cuttings. You have almost perfect growing conditions there in Alameda — almost as good as in San Francisco. I tried growing B. sanguinea in the foothills of San Jose, but the difference and heat was still too great. Here in Texas, a snowball has a greater chance of surviving. Thank you for sharing the photos. The color of the flower is much redder than the normal Sang.
