In an
earlier post, I said that my 'Snow Rose' serissa appeared to be gearing up for a period of blooming. It now appears to be fully geared up, and is blooming merrily! Here are a few more pictures, taken this morning.

Many branches are covered with blossoms. |

You can see why this cultivar is named 'Snow Rose.' | | | | |

Imagine yourself an inch tall, climbing in these branches! (For reference, the blossoms are large-pea size.) |

I have never gotten seeds from a 'Snow Rose' serissa. Many named cultivars, of different species, are sterile. But the flowers alone make this plant worth growing!
(And yes, I enjoy the music of The Mamas and the Papas. However did you guess? <wink>)
I have been corrected on one point: "The Beat Goes On" was sung by Sonny and Cher, not The Mamas and The Papas. Sorry; after 35 years, memory had gotten a tad fuzzy there.
