Species Double White

21 years ago

Thought I would share some bloom pictures. I wasn't impressed with the first flush of bloom this summer, maybe it was just the heat. But this flush has been just beautiful.

Still a small plant, but the beautiful bloom makes up for it.

    Fabulous! Beautiful flowers and excellent photos. The middle pic puts me in mind of a group of twirling dancers, their skirts in a centrifugal spin...rather Disney like.

    I guess that's one more to add to my wish list! I may have to eliminate all other plants from my backyard at this rate!

    I've got Knightii a double white,but have not seen it bloom yet.its still a growing stick with leaves about 3 ft tall.

    Please don't say its gonna hate the heat:(
    I should cool a few degrees now anyway.So Tell me how it blooms...I'll see one flower? ...then are you able to see the other?or does it grow in then drop?drop the next night?I guess ya can tell I can';t wait for mine to bloom,Guess was a good move giveing it some noon shade.Yours makes me excited.I can't wait.how long do the flowers last?same as singles?
    1st flushes aren't always good,but they do get better& better.My 3rd flush on my frostys was fabulous this year.

    So beautiful, Carol...is Knightii the name for this one?
    I have five of the single white that bloomed abundantly this year from 8" cuttings that I got last summer. They grew large and are still growing. I'll have tons of cuttings...that's for sure!!

    Beautiful!!!!

    YEAH!!!!, new blossoms on my speices and they look just like the ones in the pictures. Guess the record hot summer here in the north was the culprit. Sure glad I didn't send it to the compost pile.

    Carol, Carol! Why are you doing this to me?
    I thought I had everything planned for next year, but I guess... I am thinking already to dig out some roses... some other plants... good spots... I need more brugmansias. This one looks amazing.
