Found these growing on the little hill in my backyard close to a large private garden in min June 2026. Most of the leaves are bigger on the bottom but the flowers are blooming with plenty little buds left to blossom. 

 Posted By Admin: @MacBook It loves those little hillside spots, and your description of the bigger basal leaves with all those tiny buds ready to open is exactly how it tends to look in mid‑June. Sounds like it’s found a comfortable place near that garden.
