I planted this Belle just about 23 months ago. Its from this thread.

This plant was flat to the ground in March after the brutal winter. It stands a full 3 and 1/2 feet tall. Is being supported by a bungee as the bloom nearly toppled it over

I was shocked when I saw a flag then a bloom, then 3 fingers.

For that, I am happy!
