                We've had next to no rain this week apart from Monday. I've been dragging the large pot mine are in - in and out of my back porch, so they wouldn't be ruined by the wind.

                They are all pink and I have five flowers open, with another dozen buds or so. I also have a couple of stems with multiple buds on, but I'll be surprised if they all open. I think nipping the tops out was the way to go.

                Hopefully I'll get some seeds from them, if so would you like some, only pink of course. I held back some of the seeds you sent me for next year, so hopefully there'll be white amongst those. :)
