You saw them--those are your blooms!
Funny the market is flooded with Purple Palace since it's one of the least
dramatic. However, unlike some who have commented on them, I find the
blooms interesting enough, and in a garden of ferns, hosta, etc., those tall
wisps are OK with me. Another bright side: if you don't like them, it's
pretty trivial snapping them off.
Best!
