Hi Aspenhill- I bought 2 more 'Wild Swan' on sale for $4 apiece in little pots sometime in Sept, so now I have 3. One of the little ones has been blooming since I planted it. It does have the pretty purple on the backs of the petals, but what I have found is that to appreciate it you need to be quite close, and also viewing from behind or above (the flowers aim towards the light and droop a bit, like a Hellebore). I am looking out my window at it now, from about 20 feet away, and it is just a white flower. So be careful where you put it so the purple can be seen.

pic#3 close up from above, and from the shady west side instead of my usual viewing location from sunny east side.
How are yours Rouge?
