wow, absolutely fantastic!

It must be wonderful to see those soaring blooms swaying in the wind.

I thought anceps usually blooms in late fall/winter.

Not for me! But yes they are late for some reason. But, I grow mine outdoors; this was a cold winter; and I kept them dry and watered 1x/month Nov - February.

In a greenhouse, watered regularly; or in Southern California climate, they'd probably bloom in fall/winter. And maybe next year temps will be different, and I might try watering every two weeks.

This is the next to last one, perhaps the last one of the year. I have an alba type that is in bud but it may be too late. Or may that will be fall of next year, on schedule
This is one of my favorites so far though - love the dark hue



anceps Barkeriana x oscura
