What a difference a year makes. Last year there was only a couple of flowers, this year it has nine flowers. Apparently when it is mature there could be up to 40 flowers. I'm really pleased with it.

Another beauty. Mine are orange spotted and get bigger each year, too.

Won't it just Scottish. It did not say how long it takes to get there, but if it goes up in the same increment for the next 4 or 5 years it might get there. Actually I have put this on twice by mistake. It seemed to be taking ages to load and I clicked again. I'll leave it as someone has commented on the other one too. I'm looking forward to seeing this orange one Oji. Thanks Yorkshire. It does have a scent described as not necessarily a nice scent but it hangs in the evening air and attracts moths which do the pollinating bit for it.
