I totally loved it also but not sure I saw more then 2 blooms. It was on the north side of the row so I want to grow it again with more sun exposure.

I only had 5-6 blooms off of 3 plants. Normally this would be qualifications for me to ditch it, but I loved the blooms so much I'm willing to give it another go. Are you an Oregonian now Noni?

There are cut flowers and arrangers flowers, Cut flowers must produce lots of good flowers to sell. Arrangers flowers need only provide a few of the most beautiful flowers in the garden and you would use it as the key flower in an arrangement or maybe as a one flower display in a bud vase. Cut flower sellers cannot afford to have too many of those arrangers flowers as they have only so much room in the garden. . Noni knows how to sell those arrangers flowers in her fancy bouquets.

Lakeview Storm was my favorite bloom this season! It wasn't terribly productive, maybe because it was shaded out by it's neighbors...? Going to give it a prime location next season. Did anyone else grow it? If so, how would you rate performance?
Pretty! I didn't get a single bloom from Lakeview Storm this year. If the tuber survives, it will get one more year of trial. After 2 years with no blooms it goes into the garbage.
I only got blooms at the end of the season but I loved them then. I would consider it a late starter but worth the effort, at least for me. I definitely want to grow it again next year.
