Dear Jim, Kelly and Diane, Thanks. This must be it. I think I had a fear of "O' from pulling lots of O. umbellatum, the weedy "Star of Bethlehem", and have restricted the genus to a couple O. ponticum I got with high praises from Janis Ruksans years ago. This new addition was unexpected and pleasing. I think I'll keep it on a 'short 'leash' though to prove it self for non-weediness. See if produces huge seed pods from every flower - OR NOT ! Thanks for the help and correct ID. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd. Kansas City Missouri 64152-2711 USA Ph. 816-746-1949 Zone 5 Record low -23F Summer 100F +
