Notes:

Most of the flowers opened this morning. They always look best just after opening. The rest of the first batch will open tomorrow, by which time the first ones will have started to wilt - they drop off after 2-3 days, then the next batch start to grow.

I have added three more pictures with date/time to show the life of these flowers. All were taken the following day and by the 5th they were all dead! Two more look ready to open within a week.
