Beautiful photo of D. erecta! I've thought about planting one for years, love the flowers on this plant. I think I will check the garden centers in the next few weeks and actually buy one. That is really beautiful!

I liked how it was created into a standard, which is why I chose this image for BOTD, it's an idea that I would like to copy.

Sorry to respond so late to this.
This selection has a wonderful light fragrance in addition to the blooms.
It requires heavy pruning to keep a good compact shape.
Thanks for featuring it!
