This is a faithful bloomer for me that Ive had for some years now. Its gotten pretty big and will probably soon outgrow its 18-ish inch pot. I think there are 6 leads these year (?) and for some reason there is a very prominent pink blush in the petals that I don't remember from past years that my crappy camera didn't pick up. I think the weird weather (record cold May followed by record hot June) has something to do with the pink blush. Anyway, enjoy!

P.S. For size reference, I'm holding the plant in front of me in the first pic. I'm 6'1" tall and the pot with plant is covering my whole torso and half my head. This is a big 'un!
