Missed it.

Even the spent blossom is beautiful. Yesterday I worked a 16 hour day, and was amost too tired to sleep. I didn't even think to check the deck. This morning, here it is, telling me "I bloomed.".

The plant as a whole is lush and has many new branches. It's someting to work on for next year.

It's largely the ephemeral nature of these flowers that drives me to grow them It it was easy, It would not be as interesting.
