I have waited a very long time for this one. I grew it up from flask and
it has been about 10 years. The plant is quite small still, only 14"
tall and tried to bloom with one bud last year which blasted. This year,
two truly excellent flowers about 3.5" across.

I know the type form can get quite tall; does anyone know if the alba
form stays smaller? It is often the case that albas are smaller less
hardy plants than their type counterparts, I know, but don't know if
this holds true in this species as well.
