I often wonder how they had the patience to pick these for the cut flower market. They must have had small fingers and endless cheap labour, I suspect. I think they are best left in a shady spot where the leaves act as 'ground cover' and then the flowers are a great surprise (we pretend) when they appear in spring.

As tiny as they are they still make a statement.
