Thanks, Dave!!! I knew you would be the first to answer. Is that your kid and flowers? Cute pic.:)

Liberty, I want to thank you too!!! You've been a great help :)

Think nothing of it!!!

No, that's from Brecks & other sites

I had one at my last house - 6-8" across
It stayed when we moved
I went back, all my gardens were ripped out to redo the front deck & siding

The bulbs are like $6 each for the smaller ones pictured!!

The larger one w/the lady are $15 each

and they do drop seed

sooo....if that one goes to seed....;)

As far as I knew Dave, they only propogate from a bulb, but now you've said that I will check thru my suppliers.
