    Very pretty!

    I've never seen that one in the wild before, Louise. Much better that the invasive Himalayan version!

    Yes Catherine, me neither. The Himalayan one is taking over the park near me (although, I assume that the friends of the park are doing something to keep it somewhat in control). It is pretty, but the orange one is more restrained and as such sparkles like a jewel amongst the green... and of course, it's not as bad for the environment.
