Natalie - here is an Ugs for you. COSMIC TRAVELER was a gift plant, and even though I know I am supposed to cut the scapes of these newbies, I like to see what they are going to look like - instead of waiting a year. Realize that this is out of bloom season for my area, + the weather has been very cool, wet & grey.
It is just way too washed out - and since we had no sun yesterday, the fading can't be blamed on it! It IS still blooming this morning though, it reminds me of late reblooms I had last year and how they acted. ~Jan
