Still just one little pip in sight for now. I killed Guardian of the Monastery two years ago.
And I simply don't have room to replace it. Really need to move Bride's Dream as it is in a hole and block from sun around noon, okay before and after. It had many blooms on it last year so perhaps I should just let well enough alone. It just kills me to see it sitting in a depression filled with ice and water way past most other things in my garden. Amazes me it has survived. Perhaps it is just surface and doesn't hurt the tubers. And it is a late bloomer so maybe it actually forms buds later in the spring after it comes out of its water bath.
