Wow! You have been on a ride! Hope that clears up soon. Do you have to stake North Wind Dancer? It looks huge. Fuchsia Dream looks good with that “more lavender” look!

That form with the rolled back petals does not look like Orange Vols, and it's never shown any doubling here. It's always very triangular, sometimes with a bit of pinching on the end of the petals. But going from one weather extreme to another can cause differences.

Here was mine a couple of days ago

Debra

This sinus stuff is sure awful, especially while still on surgery recovery.

Debra, what I have may not be Orange Vols. It was a NOID but several years ago several people thought it might be OV. Kate, I staked NWD last year but am unable to this year. Fortunately only one scape is leaning down and the flowers have indeed been huge.

Brad

Nice blooms again. My goodness, what an ordeal for you, hope this antibiotic does it.

Sherry

Get better soon, Brad!

I hope your infection clears up soon. I have never seen North Wind Dancer twist like that, but it sure is interesting.
