This September bloomer opened for me yesterday. I love the color of this one. I bought it last year on sale at a local garden center. It bloomed for me a few months later in October. The blooms lasted over 6 weeks. Last year there were two blooms. Only have one this year but it is larger than last years. It was in sheath for what seemed forever and produced more honey than any of my other catts have. You can still see some of the honey on the sheath at the bottom of the photo.
