What a stunning flower. I have never seen a flower quite like it.

Jennifer,
One clump is at the edge of my lawn. I had to look it up in a photo book. It has similar leaves and size of a freeshia but flowers are not as fragile in the rain. It blooms early so adds a burst of color when there is none.
