No more open flowers to take images, but we should have Canary Brilliants flowering again by the end of June, early August.

One of my favourites, and surely my current top pick for a successful cut flower. Grand Massive, early, semi double white with closed, white buds. Very floriferous and an extraordinarily increaser.
