Thanks, Ernie! Yes, I sat down and duplicated every square inch of my photos in watercolor and pastel and posted the results. (If I ever do that, I'll also include a link to video of me shredding and then burning my diploma from U-M A&D after I've let the cats use it as a litter box liner for a week.)

Rick, they're growing in the woodland garden at the Missouri Botanical Gardens (there are Red Foxes living there, too). It's a wonderful place--hands down my favorite thing about living here.

My Kentuckinese flowered also. Huge, but it looks like it has been waterboarded 83 times due to the torrential rains that washed over it in bud for weeks. Actually it looks like Dick Cheney ran over it in a wheelchair, and maybe shot it in the face with a shotgun. Still happy it flowered after a 3 year wait. I will not add a photo!
