I know we are still in spring time, but things are blooming all over - lots of eye candy in the garden. I thought it would be fun if we shared our fav perennial with each other - a photo if you have it - why it is your favorite, etc. I know it will be difficult to choose just one - they are like our children aren't they? hehehe.
My favorite this year is Gaura - both Siskiyou pink and lindheimeri white. I just love how this plant gently moves in the lightest of breeze - just like whirling butterflies (hence the common name). My neighbor always comments how much she loves watching these plants from her kitchen window. Nice to give somone else some pleasure! I "only" have 8 gaura plants so far, but feel sure that I will be getting more to use as a backdrop in my perennial bed. These prolific bloomers are such a joy!

P.S. Lets keep this thread open and as the summer progresses we can add our favorite summer perennial, autumn perennial...
