I like to see the opening of multi flower when the long petals begin to unfurl.

Anitum looks great in bud as well. Dark chocolate!

Exciting times!
Is this normal blooming time for anitum in the NH?

 

[Alex]

Sorry not to have got back to this sooner - here are a couple more photos of the first flower open. I will add a plant pic also. Pics are iPhone I'm afraid, all I have to hand.

You don't do justice to the anitum to not include the foliage, which I think is quite lovely.

Otherwise very nice flowers, dark color. This species has a lot to offer for hybridizing I think. It's next on my list to buy, though I hear it is quite difficult to care for....
