I'll tell ya, this one almost got tossed this year. This is it's third year, and it's finally performing. The first two years it was short and the blooms were small and less than eye appealing. I think all of our rain this year slapped it upside the head and made it grow! The scapes are tall and the blooms are huge...I'm guessing at least 7 inches across. This was the first bloom, so I'm hoping it'll continue to get better.
