    just ok

    Posted by Natalia P on Mar 21st 2019

    I planted a few of these, and the wind during a storm kind of knocked the flowers over a little bit. it was right after I planted it, so maybe that's why. hopefully that doesn't happen every year, because the flowers are beautiful. just not very happy about them falling over so easily.
