Initially I had no problem. The plant clumped nicely and I got some good
photos, and some seed. Then they failed to come up in '03. I'm hoping some
seedlings will reestablish the species in the garden. It's certainly an attractive
plant. Incidentally, without wanting to provoke a taxonomy battle, I believe
that the experts are now calling it A. wumengense.
