One of my 'Baby Bunting' plants on June 26. I later divided this one into two.

One of my favorites. Looks good the whole season.

[ViolaAnn]

That's lovely. How long have you had it in that space?

[rockNhostas]

Three years, but it was moved from our other place. I'm guessing it's probably about 8-9 years old.

2014 pic of one of my 3 divisions. Strangely, only 2 of the 3 bloomed this year and the one that didn't bloom is adjacent to one that did.

My Baby bunting. I just repotted it as it was too big for it's container. This is before I repotted it.

[ViolaAnn]

It looks really good!

Thanks. I almost gave it away when I found out it was sterile, but too cute to get rid of.

My three divisions in 2015. I potted one, along with other members of the family in anticipation of a redo of my sidewalk (not going to happen this year though).

This one is still in the ground near the sidewalk. It's a bit shaded by the pot that has the others. July 3 picture.

This is the one in the pot which grew well, but late in the season got a bit too much afternoon sun due to the loss of trees to the west. Photo July 3.

This one is in the back yard. Photo also July 3.

2016 update - all three divisions did well. Here's one of them July 7.

All three divisions still doing well. I think this is the same on shown in 2016. Photo July 9.

Do you have a close-up photo straight into the flower showing color and stripes? Thanks.

Here is ours but it has heat damages. We have two more flower spikes to come.

Thanks, I was looking for some purple below the stigma. I picked-up one a few weeks ago that just put up some nee scapes. Flowers opened but not what i2 was looking for.
