The yellow-orange color is getting a bit darker, but some of the difference is due to the indirect light of early morning sun. There is only the slightly of fragrance. Since this is its first blooming, I am interested in seeing how long-lasting the flowers will be. The first flowers are now four days old and looking good.
Have fun on your cruise, Jim. When my wife and I were in Copenhagen a couple of years ago, the Little Mermaid was out on loan to some country (can't remember where) and there was only a picture of her on display. Copenhagen, and all of western and northern Europe is very interesting with a lot of history. Are you going to go through the Kiel Canal?
