|
|
7/30/00. Coming along.
|
|
7/30/00. Ahhhh. A tiny blossom bud. Sort of surprizing in the heat of july.
|
|
8/6/00. Bud growing. Do those leaves look a little anemic?
|
|
8/23/00. Quite a few buds now. Hope at least one opens.
|
|
8/23/00. Buds are growing, too.
|
|
10/6/00. I do believe I will have a bloom after all...
|
|
10/6/00. ...but the plant itself seems to be winding down for the season.
|
|
10/7/00. A work of art. And the fragrance is intoxicating. I wish it could be bottled.
|
|
10/15/00. Moved to the holding bed with a tomato cage in place.
|
|
11/26/00. Plastic bag in place over the cage to protect the plant from drying winds this winter.
|
|
4/7/01. Despite the protection, it looks pretty rough.
|
|
6/6/02. OK, here's a new one my neighbor started from a cutting. Let's see what I can do to this one.
|
|
6/6/02. It already has blossom buds.
|
|
6/30/02. I really think it's going to bloom.
|
|
7/4/02. It bloomed!! Oh, MY!!
|
|
7/4/02. Perfect little blooms on this little plant. The scent is heavenly.
|
|
3/10/02. Sheese, now this one looks pretty bad after the winter.
|
|
4/13/03. Planted another beside the sickly one. Surely one of them will do something.
|
|
5/11/03. Yippee! New growth!
|
|
5/25/03. If nothing happens, I'll have a bloom soon.
