That is absolutely beautiful, Sherry. Does it stay pink? I have a white lacecap that starts about beautifully white, that begins to have shades of pink, still beautiful.

Thanks, Howard! I guess we'll find out if it stays pink because this is the first bloom, but so far so good. Here's another shot I took of it today...





Thinking of sticking it out in the garden but haven't decided yet...
