It is a pretty plant and good for ground cover. The name I’ve seen used most here is Bishop’s Mitre!
yes, here Bishop’s Hat – ha.. this plant is very hardy and looks great in spring.
Love the picture and idea of Fairy Wings!
thanks – yes it is a whimsical name… in the wind, they look like they are fluttering.
I love the title! The shot is gorgeous!
thanks – they are such delicate little flowers – but hardy really.
