Although they are pretty, their name always makes me think of the tragic Grapes of Wrath character first.

Barry, every year you share them in photos, and every year I make sure I open the thread, as I love these flowers! I now have one in my front yard! We managed to take one from my Dad's house and it transplanted. This is the second year it has flowers, as it is still a young one. Yes down here they have opened earlier than normal, too.

They are beautiful!

Barry, I love these! They look so healthy and colorful! My dad has one between the garage and the trash can, but it's not doing well because of the dry weather and heat. These are beautiful!
