Pot. san damiano 'halona'

[DirtyCoconuts]

this is the third flower and i have totally messed up the other two by moving her and then letting it get slammed by falling rain....rookie moves.

this bud was forming during all the mess and it was getting chewed on by a snail (murdered) so i am attributing that spot on the top sepal (petal? lol) to stress, as it was not on the others to the extent i could see.


i bought this at lowes for a song and was really hoping to get one with that khaki color contrasting the fuscia.


well see as the plant gets used to the new area

That lip color is great. It looks almost like velvet. Hopefully the shape will improve over the next couple of flowering cycles.

The shape is often less than optimal, but the fragrance . . . .

I am a fan. With multiple flowers open it is a patio filling scent.
