Trying to get better pictures of the leaves and petals. Got the tape
measure out and 4 new photos.

Warm dry & windy this afternoon. The petals are wilting but shoots
coming out everywhere. The diameter of the "better" flowers are
3.5-4.0cm. It was difficult to take the pictures in the wind, really
need a 3rd hand. Is there anything in particular I should be looking
for?
