  I like it...rather delicate flowers. Not a show stopper though.

  A very beautiful plant. I saw it in my neighbour's garden and asked what it was, so I got 3 that I planted last year. They didn't flower much, but new shoots are appearing now

  This is looking fantastic at the moment.  @Silver surfer you were right that it's not a show stopper but the delicate flowers are lovely.

  I'd have to say, it would stop me in my tracks . I think it's lovely.

  i have just planted one which has just started to flower. It is very attractive without being ostentatious, and apparently it flowers from May to August, so it looks like a good garden plant.

  I've got a group of 3 and I love them.
  From a distance they look like little butterflies

  Is it just me who thinks the flower at the very top looks like a lovely little white bird flying from left to right? Or am I just being a little fanciful?

  I totally see it.  A seagull or possible a white dove.
