Breathtaking. Fragrant?
This is a wonderful plant which is just now coming into bloom in our woods here in Northern Virginia. (yes, we still have woods here, but hard to find!)
Spotting them here and there in the predominant light green of the early deciduous forest is a real treat. Thanks for confirming the species for me; I was never sure of it before now.
Fragrant? Eric in SF - Yes, they are slightly fraqrant and attract hummingbirds.

I have sever colors of these growing on the back side of my property. I would like to know what time of year is a good time to transplant the smaller plants so I can have them closer to my house.
