Rachel's Journal

thats gorgeous rachel :O) The flower looks huge.

That sure is spectacular. Gonna get me one next year. I had one a few years ago with a very pale pink flower. Definitely worth another go.

Jacinta, I knew you'd weaken in the end :) I highly recommend the white one for its scent.

hi rachel this weather has really ruined everything, everything looks forlorn except the weeds that are happy. that is a beautiful flower. well worth the wait.

You must be pleased to see that double one. It really looks exotic!

Its funny the way most white flowers have the best scent.

do they really? I never knew that. Even on a wet day you can learn something!

Very impressive and I'd like to smell the flower!

Its look royal..beautiful.But in this wheather what we have in summers,,,very hard to keep look it well.Whit what you feed it,Rachel?And how many times in week?

That is one amazing flower!  How tall is that plant?  Is it possible to have it indoors?

beautiful.

Rachel, I do remember you saying that about the double bloom...well at least you got one so far...thats a brilliant plant you have anyhow!

Beautiful post the smell up

That looks even better than the one I saw in Knockanree, beautiful form.

Liga, I fed it with tomato feed once every two weeks once is started regrowing in spring. I then increased that to once a week. However, I have forgotten to feed it the last few weeks. Going to do it now!

Mairin, it's about 5ft and lives in my kitchen. We all need company.

Thanks, everyone, for the comments. I wish I could post up the smell as it's really lovely.
