I have been waiting over 2 years for this girl to bloom. It's called a rose mallow plant, for the pond. I had no idea what it would look like and was about ready to whack it down untill I saw a few buds last month. The flower lasts about 3/4 days then just drops off. You can see where one of the flowers dropped, at about 10 oclock from the flower. I had about 6 flowers from her now and I think it was worth the wait. The flower is about 8" across.  |

Nice bloom. Kind of reminds me of cotton flowers, or hibiscus. Guess it's earned its keep for next year's garden.

Know all about waiting for something to bloom...got a tree we planted because it was supposed to be hardy for our area and have nice blue/purple blooms every year. We waited 15 years to see the first bloom. Now it blooms every year and sometimes several times a year. Some things are just worth the wait.
Hope it blooms for many years Earthdog...
