Wonderful plant, one of the few that met the bud expectations and even exceeded. Last year it was still new, had 3 scspes with bud counts of 49, 44, and 41 if I remember, but I did not record that. I counted buds last week, only counted 34 to 39, but several scapes have produced an additional branch, so I expect at least in the 40s. Lots of flowers open every day, but looks like it will be in bloom over a month. It's only problem, it may need more sun, scapes lean toward the east. It receives at least 7 hours of sun though. With scapes leaning already, they can fall over after a heavy wind. They do hold up surprisingly well. Multiplies like mad.
