    Great photos, Sjoerd!

    I have those too. A favorite and demand almost no care from me. When I have dug them up to divid and move them, some always come up again from their original location. Hummingbirds love them! I never water them. Deer and rabbits don't touch them. Fantastic! They bloom like the devil!

    Daniel—Yours look good, don’t they. Well, I like their looks, but as you said, they are easy. They can be put anywhere as long as there is some sun. They will take care of themselves and catch your attention wherever they grow.

    Pac—You know about these too!
