What a lovely day it is here.....when I look at all of those half grown buds, I could weep...
I have a double white that I am expecting/hoping to do well next spring and it has so many buds on it...
It's a Charleston x Apricot Queen......nothing like AQ it's all Charleston....
But it's all skirts and teeth...it's a lovely mess and I'm hoping it will sort itself out next flush...very nice perfume too.
So seeing all the buds up there against the bluest of blue skies is frustrating....

Did we have all these buds last year?....I don't remember having so many at this time of year.

Your BFA looks good, cestrum....I looked at my calyx and I don't have any shrivelled ones...I wonder why they do that?.....on pods yes, but on flowers?

Here are the 3 branches on the white double, all loaded.
Chrissie, this is the FFA x (Angel's Flight x Charleston) pod......it has been damaged like my other curly pod on the white double, but it should be ok, the other pod is about 10cm long now and looks like a crescent moon...
