Do these flower at a certain time, Poppysue? Or, do they flower throughout the growing season?

They're flowering here now. They'll put out a few sparse blooms later in the summer but now is when they really show off.

They are very pretty and Badseed gave me a few plants that I still have in the garden this year :) No blooms yet, though. How much sun do yours get? Mine get quite a bit and I think more shade might be better for them. Maybe then they would bloom?

I was intrigued to see this plant named Snow-In-Summer. Here in Australia a very different plant carries the same name. It is a small tree, Melaleuca linariifolia, which is covered in dense masses of white flowers around Christmas time (summer here). I have added the species to the database this morning.

I went looking for it in the PDB. Maybe it will have to refresh overnight before it will appear. I'm anxious to see your Snow-In-Summer version :)
