    Nelson, I have this and it flowers every year BUT it tends to have 1 - 4 flowers fail to open. They don't dry up or yellow, they just don't open and eventually brown off and fall almost at the same time as the good flowers finish. Have you experienced or seen this before ?

    Thank you.

    I don't think so.
