Waiting for Moonstone to open!

10 years ago

It's rather silly, but I so want this Moonstone to open, because I am hoping it will be like the gorgeous blooms Moonstone is famous for! It's been blooming, but not the pretty ones! This one looks like it has possibilities! When I started an earlier thread about Moonstone some you mentioned that your blooms had split centers and I didn't want to believe mine would, but I haven't had one pretty bloom all season long!

Here's hoping!! It looks like there are aphids on the inner side of that petal. But if that's true, they're easily gotten rid of. Go Moonstone Go!!

It seems to take forever to open. You do get a lot of duds, but the good blooms are amazing!

It really has gorgeous buds doesn't it? I have a few that MAY open if it stays a little warmer.

Did it open, photo please. We don't care if it's not perfect.

I have lots of buds as well seil. After this latest weather I think the end has come.

Thanks everyone. Carol, those are blemishes on the outer petals, not aphids, I know all about them, especially in early spring. Patty, it is opening very slowly! We had rain all day yesterday and much cooler temps. We are supposed to have several warmer, sunny days in a row, I believe it will open and I will post a picture even if it's not perfect!
