It is a lovely one Dd really delicate, well this half anyway....Lol!

Thanks Sarah, I'm sure you'd be able to grow this, they do get to be a large clump so need a bit of space, but they're worth it...:o))

Oh Ive just made a comment on your other photo. I see what you mean about the colour difference now. How odd!, both are lovely though. I wonder what it would do if you split it??
