I like v. sargentii Onandaga.
Partly because it's not supposed to like our humidity, so I viewed it as a challenge.
But I also find the flowers to be really nice & interesting, esp when first opening.
The first picture is from the beginning of the bloom, the last one is more than a month later.
So you can see, it's a fairly long duration of bloom.
Mine died last year - it was big, healthy, robust for 5-10 yrs before succumbing.
It developed some sort of disease where stems one-at-a-time started dying.
I don't know what killed it, but maybe something facilitated by our humidity,
possibly the whole reason we're not supposed to grow it around here.
I haven't replaced it, though I'm tempted. I hate to torture a replacement to death again...
Though I must admit that has rarely stopped me in the past...
