No Damsel post yesterday; I had other priorities. So today I'm posting Days 4 and 5, side by side. You can see how pink, originally just a tinge on the outer petals, dominates as the flower ages.

The aphids are not gone, but are under control.

I had to cross a couple of skewers to prop the flower up, as it was nosing down and the weight was pulling the Damsel sideways. I am considering adding permanent supports to brace her.
