Open for business but not quite ready for primetime
The naughty bits if you've never seen them. Doesn't look like the stigma are receptive yet.
And the pollinator is supposed to fit through this opening. Too small for the European honeybee and the petals are quite stiff with a waxy, slippery surface.
The petals don't open, just the sepals. Compare the pictures above. The one petal is sticking out because I had pulled it open to take photos of the inside.
How long are the stalks? Eight to sixteen inches is what I get before the sepals open. One year the flowers aborted because of mealybugs but the flowers never even got past the bud stage at the growing point.
