    Texas Two Step continues to increase yearly (in fact I didn't realize how big my clump was this season and only had half the plant tagged as such... SURPRISE!)
    I actually shared with 3 friends last fall. Theirs bloomed this year. It seems to be a great one, maybe just happy growing here in my "TEXAS" gardens!
