They are gorgeous. My white one has been blooming for a seven or eight years now and I love it. I've got a red one that will have two blossoms on it for the first time this year and I can't wait. It's too early for them here. I guess I need to find some pink plants, and one like your bottom one...that is just so cool.

Just wish they didn't take so long to start blooming, and to turn into big healthy bushes. My white one is just starting to fill out a little instead of just looking leggy.
