Oh Mieko, checked on my Caroline Constabel last night & one of the blooms had to be pinched off due to the thrips. Do you think I should give up & throw out the plant? It's almost under a stewartia tree but I had the tree's branches cut back hoping it woud help. I'm sad as CC is full of blooms.
Shelby, your Takara is beautiful! My Scrum is happy in sunniest location of my backyard. I started counting it's buds & at 40 I gave up! Must be over 50 blooms!
