Skinery in bloom

Hello,

Well finally the "Alba" decided to show her beauty for us. So far we have 2 blooms and 2 on the way. Seems though that we will only get 2 + 2 blooms this time. Can't see any more coming. But the ones that blooms are nice and really really white.

I like to see when the sun beams softly light up the flower and it glitter like snow crystals.

I tried to take some pictures, attached in the post.

I'm not 100% happy with them and I'll try to redo them when I get some time.

Take Care
//Henke

The first pic is great! 2+2 blooms for a young plant is good, and the white is really white, this is important! Congrats and thanks to share.

Well the pictures are crisp, clear and of beautiful snow white flowers, which are not the easiest to photograph. I can't imagine what your 100%ers will look like. Well done! I'm not a big fan of alba varieties, but these blooms are stunning. Does it also have the nice skinneri scent?
