Betty, I think I have seen it bloom only twice, once in 2002 when I selected it out for looking at again. Then again last year 2004 after transplanting in 2002 and lining it out. I don't think I paid attention to anything other than form, balance and general beauty the first time. I thought about environmental; cold and drought (which we have a lot of), but the rest of plant looks so good. The flower does intrigue me. It looks like the standards wanted to fall open but never do. It is a large flower. It reminds me of the skirt Mexican women ware when they are dancing. Very free flowing. If the chipping continues thou in the years to come I might just toss it. Make a few crosses on it and with it to see if it is passed on.
