Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A Korean species and the only info I could find was in Korean, it suffers a bit from the Google translation, here are a few highlights. ? The beard root to the genitals is born from the joint? ? both sides flow in lower part and becoming the short leaf sack? ? is projection where the hair sleeps almost without above reverse side pulse? and my favorite ?the flower stalk comes out from the armpit of the gun?. the flower runs?. Fortunately, a picture is worth more than a Google translation and the site has several good ones. ZONE 4
