As a child when I occasionally found one of these plants in the woods I marveled at it and thought it a magical rarity. I went back to look for them each year, often without success. When I moved to Maine I transplanted several from a friend's garden in Massachusetts, but they didn't take, as wildflowers are picky about soil and location. One day I discovered a whole host of them in our woods, moved a few, and they took hold in force. Now they are an annual source of delight, far grander and larger than those ones I first discovered years ago.
