moving down.

Jeff, thanks for sharing the nice pictures. I wish more folks on this forum would do posts with pics.

I like that. Are they sold anywhere or did you find in the wild?

Oh cool, if I saw that foliage, I'd probably evict the plant. Glad I took a look at this. Probably not everything I pull is the weed I think it is.

i bought it from a box store garden center. it (2 roots) was bagged in milled sphagnum in the bulb display, just next to the box of d. spectabilis. chipmunks destroyed one plant but this one survived and does well for me.
i have never come across one of these in a natural setting. it may be endangered or possibly like they say about certain other plants such as lady's slipper orchids or trout lilies - uncommon except where locall abundant.
so purple, are you saying it looks like one of your garden weeds? :-)

At a glance, I would think it was Celandine, if I'm conjuring the right name for a yellow-flowered weed. I will have to pay more attention to those boxed "bulbs" if this plant would be happy down here also. What are the conditions where your plant is? Looks great!
