omg, how wonderful! :clap:

What sort of exposure to sun are they getting?

 

[John M]

Why are almost all of the flowers facing the same way? Do they always face towards the sun/south?

They are all facing North-West. They are completely sheilded from the sun in the a.m. Then they get some sun from directly overhead for an hour or so and then they're in shade/dappled sun for a few hours before it's back to heavy shade again. Normally, plants in my yard will face the exact opposite direction. However, these plants have to deal with heavy shade caused by wild undergrowth right behind them (South-East). So, the most light for them does come from directly above and the North-West and that's the way they face. They've always done that.
