Name: Plants and Plumerias American South (Zone 7b) I'm on a down hill slide to middle
I'm sure I told you that for yrs. I'd seen the Cyps blooming and thought they were daffodils from an old homestead and never bothered looking until one day I wanted a bouquet of daffodils and was so taken aback with sheer ecstasy, I thought I'd faint when I realized what they were.
I called someone I knew who writes a nature column in the Tupelo, MS paper and told her about them and one of the first things she said was to not let ANYBODY know of their location as thievery might occur. She also told me the same thing about the ginseng.
So, each yr. now, Owen and I count the Cyps and each yr. there is one or two new ones popping up. They are growing right on the bank of the spring which is covered in some kind of moss. Something like carpet moss. I don't know one thing about the names of mosses.
When they bloomed thhis yr. I was in the hosp for surgery so I didn't get any pics. Will next yr. though.
