Me too, I used to have another one that was more purple, but it died out.

I noticed several "pudgy" little ones this morning. Guess the warm weather is moving things along.

Well I wondered which of these two would bloom first, but it was a dead heat! They both bloomed yesterday.
Two Thumbs Up

This is such a good little grower, and has lots of stalks showing, so it should make a nice clump later.

Baby Blessed

This little one is a workaholic! Not only does it bloom a lot in the spring, but comes back in the fall and puts on a late show! It's a great grower too. I love it!
It's in may garden thanks to Arlyn.

Both are very sweet little ones, Tom.

Several more opened this morning, I'll have to get pictures later when they are all relaxed and open. I have some stalks on the TB's showing up too, I think it's going to be a shorter season with everything opening at once. We'll see.

I wish I had known that about Baby Blessed. We sold a bunch of it at our rhizome sale. I should have gotten one. Maybe we will have it again.

I have a lot of it Jane if you want some.

Here's Cat's Eye, sure is a rapid grower.

Casper's Shadow, another good grower. Five blooms opened this morning.

Cafe Mocha One of my favorite littles.

What Again, another good grower. Sometimes it has these specks and other times not.

Fancy Sparker, a gift from Bonnie's garden, had two open this morning.
