Found this beauty in the woods, it stays green all winter (east TN)and

in the woods close by.) *I thought the one now in captivity was doing
well until today I took a walk in the woods to see how the others are.
Seems like the leaves on the captive one are severely stunted!
Otherwise looks healthy and getting ready to bloom. *I am going to plant
it in the garden, I just didn't find the right spot yet. *Looks like it
needs filtered light. *Does well with some direct sunlight but not too
much. *Here is a link to some pics:

Why didn't you plant it in an old soup tin? *Poor thing is struggling
in that silly tiny plastic pot... don't you own a piece of ground...
at least plant it in an unglazed clay pot 4-6 times that size. *Unless
you can afford a piece of ground or a proper container then leave
plants where they live. *I truly hope you don't have any pets, you'd
abuse them too.


Oh Brookie, you are so funny; you really make me laugh!
How do you know Tony's plans for this plant? He may have a 10 acre
wildflower estate
