Perhaps it needs company. Cedric Morris will flower for up to eight weeks. Must remember to divide it. It has not multiplied since last year

It flowers so long and so well because it is sterile, in spite of being a form (?yes) of N. minor.

Maren:
Taken in the greenhouse just as the sun started to light  the plants.
When the sun hits the petals at an early morning angle it show the crystalline effect.
