Thanks, BugGirl! They're heirlooms from my Grandma, so I like them a lot. I'm in the process of transplanting quite a few of the ones that are left into a bed in my garden so I'll have them forever. :)!

Thanks, Weez! I love them. They're a familiar harbinger of fall around here. One day they're not there, the next *surprise!* After seeing them every year of my life, it wouldn't be fall without them.
