I guess the winter's rest really did wonders for it...the bloom almost covers my whole face!
Smells terrific!
It is HUGE! very Jealous here!!! Give it a whiff for me!
Hope you don't get a bunch of pollen up your nose. Bet it smells wonderful. I'm counting down the months till bloom now.
I couldn't resist sharing...I am so new to the kind of brugs everyone here is growing now..but this is one of my favorites...and I'm learking & learning slowly.:>)
It was fragrant and such a welcomed scent after winter with no blooms.
Thanks for enjoying it with me.
ROFLOL!!!
I have done that so many times. It never ceases to amaze me how awesome they smell.
Not too worried about getting pollen up the nose, just hope i remember to check for bumblebees before i bury my face in it
Hurry up summer!!!!
Jen
Thanks for sharing ... we are up for photos anytime. Congrats on your blooms.
Thanks all...it was such a funny photo that hubby took.
When we saw that it covered my whole face we knew you just had to see it...even if just for the laugh..:>)
I love it,I had to find one of my neighbor girl!!
That is why we grow them!
At least me!
Looks like THE Bell of the ball! what a beauty! Thanks for sharing! A great form too!
they are so beautiful.. great.. so enjoyable to see.. blessings all
That's one big bloom. Beautiful.
Holy cow!!! That is awesome!!! I can't wait for my first bloom, I am getting very impatient, lol. Nice flower!
That is a huge bloom. Beautiful
Thanks all :>) This is what i call a great facial.lol
This tree is really liking this spring weather and putting on a nice flush of flowers.
All 5 of the stem cuttings you sent me Ms Critter have rooted. I am SO happy! Using the recycled aerated fish aquarium water seems to make them VERY happy.
Thanks again for sending them....I only hope they grow to be as healthy as the one in your picture.
I still can't get over the size of that bloom!!
Marc,
Glad to hear they are rooting . I really like my set up like the one you are using...I use a piece of plastic 1/2 X 1/2 inch mesh to hold mine upright and seperate them with gravel at the bottom for them to keep their roots untangled.
They will be very healthy plants and should bloom just like their Momma.:>) Here's a pic of one of the most recent blooms this week.
Root- I think the size of the blooms has something to do with the cow manure & epson salt fertiler??? All of mine bloom like this pretty much, even the pink one blooms huge.My roses even bloom huge. I guess it could be the chemical plants close by or maybe the water??? lol
Thanks Lottie:>)
It is a wonderful picture! I can smell the fragrance in my imigination!
Wonderful Lottie....thanks again for the cuttings and for another beautiful pic.
