Legendary Pleasures

[farmer d]

I was quite excited to get this plant last summer 2011 with the parentage of Living Legend and Simple Pleasures.  I have both parent plants and they are very impressive so a good idea to get one of their children.

I have struggled finding a way to get this one going until very recently as it seemed to be under watered for a very long time.  Now that the temps are more mild and I am getting a better feel for what she wants all of a sudden buds appeared and very quickly a full sized bloom appeared on this small lanky bush.  I am excited to see what she can do next growing season plus being next to my Lane Orange tree she will get more protection from the hot afternoon sun as LO grows above her.

Darren, thanks for starting a topic on this cultivar. It has good potential but so far only a few plants exist.

Below are photos from April and early October showing the colors I think you can expect more "in season".

Charlie I can't wait for my blooms to hopefully look like the ones you have posted.  Don't want to diminish anyone's view of this cv - just had to show the first blooms as I was not expecting anything even remotely soon with the plant after what it's been through in one year's time.  A testament to it maybe becoming a prolific bloomer.

I recently had another bloom from LP - maybe even a bit more winterized but great form with more buds popping up.  It is still growing nicely all the way thru winter so far!

Now that I got this plant going strong the blooms have improved and look great
