Five days of clouds, drizzle and rain didn't do my first bloom any good. However the second largest bloom is starting to open and looks a bit less mushy.
Just a quick update on my S. gravida. We had to move it into the tool shed when the temps dipped into the 20s back in Dec. It has continued to bloom and both of the rooted cuttings in the 4 1/2 inch pots have bloomed as well. I can't wait to see if it will start blooming as early again this fall.
