Thanks for the ID Sarah. When we first bought the house many years ago we saw these in a corner but they did not appear for the next few years, except maybe in a different colour. This year they are sprouting up all over in a variety of colours. Must have something to do with the unusual weather we have experienced this year after several years of near drought.
