The more I see these wonderfully, beautiful flowers the more I,m thinking that I need to make room along my fence line for some. In Calif I've seen the wild ones and was not that impressed, but these hybridized ones are wonderful.

Try the wild ones to have a pollinator for the tame ones. That is what I am going to do. We have plenty of maypops growing hers. Luciee
