Thanks, cville_gardener. Yep, that's the plant I have. And I'm pleased to say that four days after I posted that last note, I finally got my first flower -- on Saturday (picture below). That was followed by another on Sunday and then a third on Monday. They are a delight to see -- very beautiful. But for some reason the flowers only last about a day. With the first two the whole (tubular) corolla fell off, leaving just the center filament -- is that called the style, or pistil? Then the third just seemed to close up after a day. Anyone have any ideas about why that would happen? The area only gets sun after about 12 or 1 pm if that's a factor.
