    I've had Doc Branch since 2017. It's been a very reliable bloomer for me. It even bloomed last year despite an early drought and not getting any supplemental water. It hasn't increased much for me but it still manages to put on a good show.

    I can't remember ever seeing much of any sculpting on the blooms. However, I have some kids from Doc Branch that show more visible sculpting.
