    Default Skinneri var alba Occulata

    This guy is fading fast (The blooms I mean) I never got around to taking a picture when it looked nice. It did really well this year.

    And this is the bad look? lol I'm thinking that must have been a total knockout when it first bloomed then because I think it is amazing right now! Great growing there Diane!

    I'd guess at least 10 years, I have had it for about 5 or 6.

    Incredible! Look at all those flowers, fantastic growing!

    This plant has been on my wish list since last summer, still can't seem to find a source for it in Europe. One day!
