I forgot to mention that the top and bottom blooms in the

photo were 3rd day open, through wind and driving rain,

when this photo was taken.  Impressive.  It's a pollen child

of Happenstance, out of an involved seedling.

 

Another of his guests here, Emma's Laughter, reblooms through

the summer at his place in southwestern Illinois.  A cool white,

it bloomed big this spring, but no sign of summer bloom here yet.

I wasn't able to get a good photo of it this spring.

 

I keep watching it.
