Beautiful! I had one bloom in the middle of summer this year. I wish they would bloom at this time of year. The more flowers in the winter, the better.

Right now they're just nubs on the canes, so I remember years past those turning into keikeis when it got watered too much or too warm. So, I'm leaving outside and on the dry side for now. The one shoot coming up will just have to make do for now.

Ok, now that is clearer.

I still call them spikes however short they are on nobile hybrids.

These two are about fully open now.
The others are still spiking.

I couldn't get the pink blush on the petal of the first one due to bright sun.

I love the fragrance on both of these.
