SO HAPPY TO SEE YOUR COMMENTS. WHEN I MOVED FROM WESTERN MASS TO CAPE COD, I COULD NOT BEAR TO LEAVE ALL THESE VILETS HOME, THEY WERE GROWING NEXT TO A STREAM AND SO BEAUTIFUL. I CAREFULLY TRANSPLANTED QUITE A PATCH OF THEM HERE IN THE WOODS AND THEY HAVE MULTIPLIED LIKE CRAZY. BUT... I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THEM BLOSSOM AND THEY HAVE BEEN HERE ABOUT 15 YEARS NOW. THE PATCH IS SOOO HEALTHY LOOKING BUT NOT ONE BLOSSOM . HAVE YOU ANY IDEAS ON WHAT I NEED TO DO TO GET THEN TO BLOSSOM, I LOVE THE YELLOW FLOWERS AND HAVE HAD THEM SINCE I WAS VERY YOUNG, I AM NOW 80 AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM BOSSOM, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, YOUR PICTURES ARE WONDERFUL!!
