Beautiful, so sad about lopping off 4 blooms. Sounds like something I would do.

Yowsa that sounds like some plant. What happened to it?
It was indeed a monster of a plant.
Succumbed to a major black rot incident while I was on holiday. I managed to save a decent bit, but it never recovered properly in my (then) less than adequate care.
