I bought My Friend Kammy from Pat Ball in the Fall of 2020.
In 2021, MFK bloomed from June 24-July 8th with 3 flowers. At least I could positively ID the plant…by October, there were 4 fans.
In 2022, MFK bloomed from June 30- July 24 with at least 17 blooms counted. It ended the season with the same four fans.
In 2023, MFK bloomed July 1-22, with only 8 blooms counted. Once again, she ended the season with the same four fans.
So, I really like the flower but I wouldn't say that the plant has done amazingly well. It is doing ok, there is a flowering period every season, but there has been no increase in fan counts yet. It seems to be hanging in there and that's about it. I also never see more than a single bloom at a time.
The flower is very striking. I like the color contrasts and it's usually unblemished by spotting. I would just like more of them.
