We’ve been having crap weather for several weeks now. Still waiting for Corals and others to start blooming. Some varieties take the harsh winds, many rain showers and cold temperatures better than others. Vanilla Schnapps is one that really detests this: many dried up buds, open buds, damaged stems and so on. It really needs a sheltered position. Cytherea is somewhat better although the sepals are mostly ugly due to this weather. Compare this with some standard lactiflora cultivars like Madame Claude Tain that are in the same spot, yet showing no trace of this bad weather at all.
