For the longest time this year, my Destined to See had enormous, fat buds that were beginning to feel like they were destined to never open. To my delight this morning, one of them finally burst open to reveal a pentamerous bloom! I appear to have more on the way too--at least 2 more pentamerous and 1 tetramerous. This is the second year it has bloomed, from 2 small fans planted in 2008.
