This one suffered a disaster. The bloom was growing so high that I was afraid it would get bumped by the light mover as it traveled above it. When I moved it I bumped off the top 4 buds. I wanted to cry. There were still 5 beautiful buds which did open. The blooms measured 5 1/4" across. I can only imagine what 9 flowers would have looked like.
You're not the only one who knocks off buds...I actually did the same thing on one today as I was loading it into a friends car. I know how dissappointing it can be.
