As to the Turk's Cap, I received mine in trade at the Okeechobee Roundup, I believe from Norma. She gave me numerous interesting plants.

There were 2 turk's caps I received, one of which I believe Art got from me and as Val said she has a cutting from that one.

Mine has grown quite tall, about 3 1/2 feet. When it got to 3 feet it leaned over so I stuck a piece of dead branch in the cross board of the wood fence and pulled the top of the Cap back up to be held there. It stayed put until the hurricane came and dislodged it. Well, I pulled it back up and it's fine now. It never stopped blooming. I think yall are going to love this plant.
