it this year!

Hi Kate,

   They're a great, very tough native US wildflower with four-petaled
   yellow flowers in the spring (and produced sporadically throughout the
   rest of the growing season with adequate moisture).  The scientific
   name is Stylophorum diphyllum.

   I really like this plant, but I've found that you have to give it a
   lot of room or the seedlings will take over.

   I finished a garden tour this morning and saw that my shooting stars
   are finally blooming.  I *love* that fragrance!  There's nothing like
   burying your nose in a cluster of shooting star blooms -- it reminds
   me of orange blossoms.
