I have not noticed if it was. Last year was so off with first the early spring and then a very hot month in June with no rain.
It did rebloom in September of 2010. (I know that bud building is different, but thought you might like to know that it can rebloom.)
The pictures of those blooms are not very good as the only digital camera I had then was my phone which did not take very good ones. The blooms did have a great pink edge.
