It's interesting to hear how many people know of these flowers-- I'd never heard of them until my friend gave me the seeds.Jennifer Thermeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17970621166460145330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1205891765030546361.post-13302624531442806322008-08-03T22:08:00.000-04:002008-08-03T22:08:00.000-04:00I love those too.

We would all sit out in the yard in lawn chairs and watch them open in the early summer evening. Such a vivid memory - which is why I grow them now.

Dang, and the deer don't eat 'em either.
