Citronella

This just opened. Rained on them so didn't get to take pictures of them fully opened.

Pretty and I love the way the calyx hugs the flower. I am glad you are having blooms Barbara after all that you went thru this summer.

Very nice! Does it smell good?

Barbara, this is not Citronella. Being out of the same cross like Golden Lady, Citronella has very small flowers.

Thanks monika, will check the where I acquired it. Any ideas of what it is?

Monika, is Citronella a slow grower? I have one and it hasn't seemed to grow much at all this summer. It's too shaded where it is now. I imagine it would do batter in a different location.

Barb, is your yellow or white? It's a lovely shaped bloom.

Oh Sorry Barb. I hope it wasn't something you imported.

very dramatic picture Barb.

I have no idea what it could be Barbara. I have a picture of Citronella. Its in the old Preissel book, therefore copyrighted.
poppysue, Citronella grows slow, the color is a cream.

Well, whatever it is ..it is lovely!
Hopefully, you can identify.

Sue, your Citronella here is coming along nicely.
Hopefully, will have a bloom soon. Maybe Monika could comment.

Here is my Citronella. I have two different plants. This one bloomed and is a slow grower. The other one grew very big, but we had a storm and it got broken so I haven't seen it bloom yet.

Susie, yours is very pretty.
I like how it is short and emerges from the calyx.

I like a low calyx also! Does it have a lemon scent Suz?

Barbara, I cannot help you in ID this plant. Its a common hybrid type. Its like the many Frosty Pinks.
