Wow! Those buds must be plump to fit all that in there! Gorgeous!

I love the color of this one, too! I do wish that those lovely blooms had stronger necks. I have to lay on the ground to appreciate their beauty. :lol:

Sounds like you need a raised bed (like 2 feet in the air) with a chair below to enjoy them :)

Surprise! I do have one facing upwards today. The entire stem is leaning against the house, and the flower stem flopped up backwards instead of hanging down. It's such a lovely blossom, and a nice fragrance, too.
Maybe I'll have to try that raised bed/chair idea! :lol:
