This one bloomed earlier this year.

Last year, it opened on August 13. The bud was up on Saturday and it opened on Sunday. And there’s another bud coming up.

The other 2 don’t have any buds and I decided they were too crowded in their shared pot. Man! They were root bound!

I have cut them apart and replanted them in separate pots with good soil around their abused roots. I’m thinking that I’ll lift all 3 of them out of their pots when they’re dormant this Fall and set them down to free range in the bottom to see how that goes.

I would love to see the purple ‘Almost Black’ and white ‘Virginiana’ blooming along with this ‘Madama Wilfron Gonnere’.
