No sooner did I say Patricia Ann Fretwell didn't bloom, then it bloomed. Not what I expected but next year should be better.

Piilu also hasn't opened and neither has triternata Rubromarginata, Climador or Perle d'Azur. How can they be so lazy when the others are doing so well?

The good news is, I think Etoile Rose seems to have survived the onslaught of tree workers after the major tree in the back was lost to the storm last year.
