In summer these plants are smothered with delicate flowers, which resemble miniature orchids.    The flowers have white and cream backgrounds over which pink , rose,  red and violet patterns are painted in very fine tracery.  They look like small , dainty butterflies, and they make a very lovely garden plant, with their finely cut leaves which are a little like delicate fern fronds.  The flowers are excellent for picking, and they are  easy to grow from seed.
