I have a Victoria Longwood that has just bloomed this week-end. It is the first Longwood that I have had since 2003. I was excited when I saw the bud, but didn't expect the bloom to open until last night. It opened friday night. there is also another bud on it so I should have another bloom in a couple of days!
Hopefully these 5 pictures will show in order, as you see the bud on Friday, the pure white bloom early Saturday morning, the bloom turning colors around 3 -4 pm, and then the bloom at 9 pm Sat. night was completely Flamingo pink. It was closed this morning, and had sunk into the water by tonight.
