Hi Nancy! How does your garden grow after that awful winter? I don't have a yellow beardie....have you any Butter and Sugar yet? I bought two small pots two seasons ago and they have settled into a very wild spot along the stream. Quite hardy and pretty yellow and white. I love the white stipples on the falls of this one. I have inherited a germanicus from the previous owner here it's the colour and (I think) it smells like grape koolaid....and I have the variegated one from my town garden and they smell wonderful, too . Have been building a collection since a town friend gave me a clump of roots that he had left on his carport driveway (asphalt!) for a season. They bloomed amongst his construction materials while he was building a pool in his backyard! He didn't want them...lucky me!

My neighbour gave me these and they took a while to get established . They look great amongst the purple and mauve irises around them. Yes I do have the Butter and Sugar Siberians as well.
