Thank you for these lovely pictures, showing differences in bloom form. I especially like the photos where the petals are backlit. Good to know how it does for you. I agree...health " B", not bad, could be a little better. But a nice, compact plant.

Love your pics. She is a beauty.

As for health, I'd give mine a B- or maybe even B-/C+. If the blooms weren't so lovely, I would have replaced mine sometime ago. I still sometimes think I might, but . . . .

Mine has never grown taller than 2.5+ ft, and it is about 7 years old. The Austin catalog lists it as 4 ft. tall. Anybody else get one to grow that tall?
