    Its so much taller and in flower but my images are too dark, I need to look what mode the camera is in.
    Thanks IL!
    Here is the root of one a few years ago from the same grower. Someone got in the shed where I was storing it all winter and stole it.

    It won't be in the shed this year, the new one.
    I don't believe it: flowers dropped off before reaching the top. New ones are forming .
    The images I took need resize, sorry everyone will post one tomorrow.

    I love it. I have a few pots of regular ones but this would be a nice addition.
