Cool flowers. Great it's finally bloomed for you.

Awesome!

A real beauty! Maybe you should go away more often??? :rofl:

That was really nice of your sis-in law. I presume she was watering and taking care of them as well.

oooo - I love this one! too bad you weren't there to see it - but good you at least got pix!

Wonderful: maybe I should have been more patient with my C. Burfordiense - after 3 years I finally gave up and gave the plant away and replaced it with a slightly smaller and more compact growing C pandurata. Which incidentially I almost got to flower: a spike bud developed in April, then we had a spell of bad weather and it stopped!

well they are slow as molasses to bloom but i think i got the system down pat this year....besides i have heard that they dont like to be dissturbed, and i had to move up in pot size several times....now it is hanging off the edge of a ten inch pot! i will have to move it up or cut it up soon...
