These individual plants create huge "buds" that open over a 7-10 day time.. and then only bloom for maybe a week or so and then they are just pretty green plants.. but while they are blooming.. WOW!
[ it was mostly overcast.. cool.. slight breeze - worst time to try to take pics - so try to imagine a bright clear bloom ]
This plant was still in pot -
Planted about 2 weeks before started to bloom - see all of those "buds" - you can see last years plants just starting to "bud" in lower left of this pic -
Second year for these.. they multiply like rabbits -
Same with these.. started with one plant last year.. now have at least 6 -
Imagine this sight - ( about half of these plants here.. one plant last year ) -
There are still some ( second year ) that are just now buds! And last year I thought I got ripped off when they barely bloomed and then seemed like they just died away! Started with 4 plants.
And then about a month ago I saw these.. all over the garden! - look close and you may see them on the ground just getting started in some of the above pics -
That's in my front yard TerryO.....
