Despite the serious abuse my poor phals have suffered this summer, one of the few surviving buds (of all the buds on my phals) actually made it and opened into a rather wonky looking first flower.
I'm super happy that the bud survived in the first place and the delightful fragrance and lovely purple colour are great sources of joy.
The flower is quite "cupped" beside being wonky and I hope the next flower (unless I kill it first) will look a bit better. Super happy with the colour and fragrance though.
