Right, so – here we go! My first bloom was last week, on Thursday.

So here is Friday:

A twofer!

And Saturday:

I had two on Sunday but didn’t go out front until they were already drooping. Sorry!

Monday: a pink one!

And today:

Another twofer, but this one wanted a closeup.

And on another plant, one with a different shape.

Sad, isn’t it, to see the shrivelled remains of yesterday’s glory?

Hubby asked me did I think they bloomed at night, or early in the morning. I had trouble sleeping last night so I came downstairs at 4:30 am, and had a peek out the window – nope, they don’t. At 6:30, starting to unfurl but not fully open yet. By 9:30 when I leave for work they are perfect! No scent, by the way, just gorgeousness.
