Thank you for the honor! Love this plant but it didn't return this spring....don't know what I did wrong. Could of been the strange winter/spring we had.

Pixie, if you have field mice or voles, they seem to like the roots.

Celeste, how big are these flowers? I find I am more attracted to plants like this these days then the bold screamers. So pretty.

Kell, they are approx. 3 - 5" across when fully open. They come in other colors too...i'd like to try a red one next. ^_^
