I thought the "Paul's scarlet" is pretty but this one is lovely too. More vivid ....I think.

I went to the Nursery a few years back, with every intention of buying 'Paul's Scarlet' but I fell for this one! :-))

I can see why. Must be very showy when in full bloom.

It is - I just hope it stays in flower for my open days!

Fingers crossed, Spritzhenry and good luck.

Thanks - I think I need it, as the petals are already dropping!

What are your opening dates? Love this colour:-)

5th and 12th June - and the blossom is falling fast because of the incessant rain. :-(( Boo, hiss.

Typical ...back to ark building:-(

Yes, probably. :-((

It was in full bloom last year when we opened. Everybody was asking about it!

26 May, 2014

 

It was probably the mild winter and early warm spell, blossomed too soon:-(

Actually, it was the usual time for it - last year it was late. So I shouldn't moan.
