Yes, SMWeaver, a couple weeks of bloom seems about right. The first 2 flowers opened June 1, and I just cut off one of those today. Will get not much more than a few more days on the rest.
One thing that surprised me was the size of the flowers as I'd only seen photos and judged them to be fairly small. When mine first opened they were 2 1/2 & 2 3/4 inches, but after a few days the largest was 3 inches wide, not huge, but larger than expected.
And the plant, which has always been happy to grow, is still happy. I had repotted it in March 2020, when it was climbing out of its pot. Now, having just grown one full size new leaf, it's got nine more underway.
Growing well for me is one of the qualities I like in a plant.
