Joan's Surprise illuminated

Again, wondering around the garden in the evening winding down from work.
Seeing blooms like this remind me just why I grow them

Joan's Surprise

Despite the grey and gloom of the weather, Joan's Surprise is a beacon of sunshine that lifts the spirits. Despite being a relatively small plant around just over a foot tall she has produced loads of buds, and despite a few blowing off in the wind, we have 4 blooms currently.

  
Its parentage is from Dola Goldentrumpete, a double mixed with my single plant called Buddy, The result is a strong marzipan scent, and is named for my good friend Terry's Mum.
Hopefully she loves this. We do!
