Marilyn Morss Johnson bloomed for me this year on June 9, 2016. And then again on July 11th. I did not record stats, unfortunately. At that time there were 2 fans. Checking it today, I see 1 single fan. So it has either gone summer dormant or this plant is decreasing and failing to thrive. I hope it is just heat dormant because I love this cultivar and would be so disappointed to lose it. Sad

Here is a bloom from June 9, 2016:

And here is a July 11, 2016 rebloom flower:


I've had a lot of rain lately, so I do see a small amount of rust showing up on the single fan. Nothing serious yet. Just sad to think this cultivar may be declining in my garden. I have no idea why. New bed, lots of water and fertilizer and adequate daily sun. Confused
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
