Whatcha' tryin' to do, Bill, make us all green with jealousy? :-)
I love the flowers on mine, fleeting tho' they are, but value the
foliage as well, which, if it doesn't get too dry, stays quite nice
until late in the season, when it quietly disappears. O'course, I
only have a patch of a dozen or so who have been growing away,
seemingly happily, for nearly 20 years in fairly acid clay.
