Last year it was planted in an area too dry and hot, so it had turned black by mid-July.
In autumn, I transplanted the few shriveled roots that were left into a shadier, wetter spot next to some ferns. And this spring I notice it had returned! Just two leaves, and the whole thing not more than 10 cm tall, but green and healthy looking.
So who knows? Maybe I will be posting flowers with you next year, silken

I think you will be posting photos next year. Is it the same one or a different one? I have mine in a loose moisture holding soil in partial shade. It gets some sun later in the day. It seems happy with that.
