photo date 07/02/24, temperatures about 15 degrees C, max. rarely 22 •C over the last months; blooms last very long on the bush- even the extremly old ones - from fully coloured bud to shatter about 18 days and more (I mostly have to take them off- though some fall apart on their own; plant was protected from the daily rain we had - so no flower damage due to rain; colour changes whilst aging from very bright pink to a lilac mauve shading; before it is really done- there is a silvery egding on the petals, that highlights the edges of the petals and gives the flower a touch of cool lilac (this is best seen from the reverse).
