billyporter, don't order another Chocolate Daisy -- I have lots of seeds to share from mine! I wintersowed the seeds last February and the plants got huge and bloomed their first year, which I think is unusual for perennials.

Oh, and for anybody trying to find it in PF, I typo'd... It's Berlandiera lyrata, http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/1605/index.html. I have to say, I sniffed hard and could never make out any chocolate scent... but everybody's nose is different! It smelled like *something* but just not chocolate (to me).

Here's a photo... please ignore how the grass got out of hand along the edge of the beds this summer!
