stormyla sounds like you'll be busy this weekend too, hope you enjoy the concert! I've been busy with my daughter and her husband who are visiting from Maine so haven't had time to get the photo of the Brigadoon and Eucomis combo but will try to get it posted soon. The Eucomis is slow to multiply but another DGer who I sent seeds to try last year has been successful and has new babies :) As for the Pulmonaria, I'm not sure they "all" revert but the Raspberry Ice had such unique variegation and was disappointed to lose it. Same thing with variegated Brunnera, tends to revert for me :(

I'll be watching to see if anyone finds the double bloodroot available - after seeing Weerobin's clump, I'd really like to get one! As for the $75 price tag on the one I saw, that was maybe 15 years ago and I think it had just been introduced plus I think he picked it up at an auction at a rock garden society meeting so it was a "charitable contribution" :)

I've always been fond of the Cranesbill geraniums, some do better for me than others but I really like the foliage of these - Geranium renardii http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/54605/) This is an old picture from about 3 years ago of Terra Franche which has the same 'crinkled' foliage.
