If these are the big flowers, I wonder what the small ones would be... Posted 10 years ago

  lol - it is kind of a grandiose name for such a tiny unassuming flower isn't it. I wasn't sure if these had flowered yet and couldn't even see the little white petals until I got down on the ground to look closely. Posted 10 years ago

The Tellima

''Tellima grandiflora'' is a herbaceous perennial plant of the family Saxifragaceae. It has rounded leaves that emerge from a rootstock, and reach heights of 30 cm. It is evergreen in mild winters. Flowers are borne in spring and early summer, on spikes up to 60 cm high. The green calyx is 6–8 mm long; the five flower petals are greenish-white to purple, pinnately divided and spreading. The petals are deeply fringed.
