Oscularia deltoides in bloom

Back in March Paracelsus posted a link to some blooming O. deltoides that was so gorgeous I hesitate to offer a picture of mine. Still, I am so relieved that it finally did start blooming a few days ago when I was about ready to give up (having forgotten when it bloomed last year), that I took its picture.
The flowers at their largest are only a bit over 1/2" in diameter, so individually they are not very impressive. However, taken en masse, they are quite pretty.
