My brother had cleared out an area where these grew years ago. He just used the dirt to fill in an area around the water meter. The flowers came back this year. And by the hundreds! So I've put a border around them. (There's some day lilies mixed in there too, I believe.) The border will also help to keep someone from driving into the water faucet. Can't beat something with a dual purpose!

Way to gop Cheryl! Brilliant solution....and what luck that those flowering plants all popped-up for you.
