Zoia said: The earliest photo I have is taken at 7:52 am and you can sort of see one flower partially open. But I think the color is pretty consistent from morning through afternoon.

That is what I have observed in the past as well. A consistently pigmented and striking ENE with a remarkably pale base color, and a pleasingly form. Not an EMO, but worth the wait.

I was disappointed that SGTL succumbed to the freeze-thaw extinction event last winter. The perils of pot culture! She did okay for four years until a crazy set of swings nixed her. She might have prevailed as a clump in the ground.
