Flowers are food for the soul.

Breathtaking has a lovely pronounced sweet fragrance too.

That's a nice list of goodies!

Cotillion Gown immediately rotted on me last year and Rare Coin bloomed without increase this year.

I will be interested in knowing how Signal Butte does for you. Have you had luck with arils?

How much sand is a "bit" Lucy? Like a hand full?

I was given a little Sand Dancer and I potted it with at least 1/3 sand. It is loving the heat, but hating the humidity and heavy rain so it will be interesting to see how it looks next spring (hopefully still alive is how I want it to look). I will get more sand to mix into the soil when I get it planted in the garden bed.

BTW

I saw a clump of "Immortality" on Sunday in New Jersey with at least four bloom stalks. Quite nice. It was at the entrance to someone's driveway.

They are always beautiful over in Duke Gardens. I think I need to move mine next to Las Vegas so it can show Immortality the rebloom ropes.
