Sun Drops

This little drop of sunshine is one of my favorite early summer flowers  It too was given to my mother by a neighbor, who received it from some one else and so on.

It is a very hardy perennial which bloomed a little late this year because of a late freeze.  Of course the freeze didn't really harm this plant.

Supposedly it seeds itself, but its main method of multiplying is by sending out runners.  It is not as likely to take over a bed as its goose-neck neighbor, but it is a pretty busy fellow.
