Sweet! Great progression and lovely flower. How long did it take for the bud to fully open?

Thanks Eric

Thanks Eric

It took 2 days for the bud to fully open. The whole time lapse took 11 days. I could use a video right about now!!!

I like the colors of this flower, the touch of yellow. Did the other flower open? And are there any more buds?

 

[Heather]

Very nice. I like it better than St. Peter. Similar color but longer petals.

What nice colour. Is this anything like Bouley Bay? (My sister just got it, no flower yet). Nice to see the flower development.

UPDATE:
Well both flowers are open.

Strange shadows...... (shadows are never lighter than the surface they fall on. It probably would have been better to select the shadows as well as the background and turn it all black.)

Nonetheless, I love the flowers.
