thank you baine and brian,

i moved it over the weekend, wearing my to-the-elbow leather rose pruning
gloves! so far no bad side effects, thanks to you, i would have never
thought that sweet little plant could be mean

i wound up not moving them far, just to the edge of the woods where they
were, the better to see them. you are right about being hardy, they didn't
even look 'faint' afterwards....the weather is cooperating too!
