Thank you, Sheila. I must plant it in the ground. It’s in a pot, doing ok really, but Eileen had it planted out in the garden.

Mine too - I have it in dappled sun. It seems quite happy. I had it a couple years now. Funny, I found it at a second-hand consignment shop in lower Manhattan. Thanks for posting Kate!

Many thanks, Klahanie! That’s a pity, do you have any at all?

Thanks Eileen, I’ve been waiting patiently all summer for the flowers and I’m very pleased with the outcome!

Thanks Paul, pleased you like my turtleheads! Yours look fab too - love the unusual flowers! I’m still thinking it’s a odd place for you to pick up this plant, but, a lovely find indeed! Thanks for the tips.

At first glance I thought there was a snail in the centre as I had a daylily with a snail in the centre the other day haha, pretty colour:-)
