Yes Jeanette, it went from the plants in the ground in that last picture to the flowering one in the first 3 in 11 days! The only one up and blooming is the one on the far right. In that last picture you can kind of see the stalk emerging. I took pic 4 on 5/6/05 and the other 3 on 5/17/05.

That is the link to the Park's website page so you can see what I mean about the color. They are supposed to get 4 feet tall total- 2 foot bloomspikes on a 4 foot stalk- top 2 feet bloom in other words.

This is a shot from this morning. I don't know if anything would help the color- I mean that may BE the real color! It looked just like that in the WFF picture which made me doubt that mine would bloom the color of the other pictures I had seen. Including the one on Park's. I may give them a call today and see what they say.

Edited to say it's about 3 feet tall right now.
