Lovely! I will join you from my garden. It's important to recognize and care for the beauty we can,especially now.

Yes! Gift from my son today. I have pulled roots and had mixed success, but they are such beautiful flowers with endless variations, they are hard to resist. Picture of blooms from a couple of years ago. Planted the roots that I pulled last fall, but they didn't look promising. We'll see.

They’re beautiful! I have 7/8 in my own garden; they’re only starting to grow, which is early but we had a warm spell here in Cork (Ireland) so hopefully they’ll bloom in a month. The slugs love them, I use beer traps and broken seashells to deter them.

P.S. I truly dislike slugs.

😂 I think I’d have a nervous breakdown if I had to pick them up 😂

Lol, well, of course, gloves are a must. Also helps if they have recently decimated a plant I have been nursing along or one I am impatiently waiting to bloom. Last year they ate a whole lupine,in one night, the whole beautiful plant. That morning, I went hunting. 🤣🤣🤣

Wish they were hardy enough to survive winters here in the ground! I do love them.
