No, Tony, the one that I refer to is the one that Diane took a picture of in our garden and mentioned in her post. We purchased it as Ipheion sellowianum in 2003 on a hellebore trip to England and kept it in a pot for one season. We planted it out in the fall of that year and it has been outside, increasing steadily and blooming every year since. It is in a dryland that used to never get water and now is watered a couple of times a summer.
