Oh THANKYOU!!! I just read the HAwthorn Hill blog... It's such a special plant. Wish I could transfer the whole clump into my garden!

We get it growing over here in upper Pinellas County in the soft sandy areas with the pines; and in a pasture land of the Brooker Creek Preserve leased out for cattle at the time. It's a shame the blooms have to die off it is so pretty.
