Definitely... let it do its thing this time. Can hardly wait to see it!

I've been updating the original post - the fourth bud just opened up. Fifth one is coming up... and the sixth one may be a dud.

Ahhh... missed that, sorry! I think the presentation is actually nice... problem with staking too early is that the buds start out leaning over and then straighten out, so in staking important not to distort the positioning by doing too much, I think it's pretty outstanding!

I didn't realize you added pics to the original post. Your Roth is stunning. The most flowers I've ever gotten is 4, I'm jealous!
Please post when they are all open

...and all buds have opened! Behold!

Oh Wowza! That is just magnificent!

:bowing :bowing :bowing

Magnifico!!!

Wow!!!! Really cool.

And I showed my husband, who thought it was awesome. I believe that means I'm allowed to buy one, right?

I think you have to now :biggrin: It's quite a bizarre yet stately thing!

Very nice!! 5 blooms is pretty good.
