I just love that dark color! I am so glad you finally achieved bloom and so early in the season. You will be getting tons from now on!
Karrie, where I am is windy as I am right by the water and I never have any trouble. I know if it is brutal, it can shred the leaves. Good Luck!
My first blooms ever!
Thanks for all the praises guys.....I am quite proud.
The sister of this plant now has buds on it....it is another unknown that I bought along with this one....
My leaves look ratty on this plant because she had weathered outside all winter....
Shirley - I just went outside and gave it a sniff and I swear the scent is not strong - had to give several sniffs to get a good whiff....try to imagine a lite floral citronella...
I am so HAPPY for you, I didn't know you waited so long for flowers. This is call for a party!!!
Your flowers are beautiful :)
Well, that wouldn't be VO for sure as it is strong. Maybe it is a cross that someone did some time ago.
Pretty!!!!!!!!!! What a gorgeous color! Congrats to the new mom!
You are right Shirley, I'm content just to sit back and enjoy the view....
Back to the old saying - "I know what it aint!"...lol.
That's the best part anyway, Pam. LOL!! Now if we could just figure out a way to make them take care of themselves, we would have more time for that sitting back.
Cheers!....
