This photo is on the other side of the Bunny Trail, at the front of the garden section. Still the border of Wild Ginger, a big hosta (this one got divided this spring: after pulling off 8 divisions, this is what is left!). An astilbe, 'Erica' is just barely visible. Other things that are planted, but not very visible are Jacob's Ladders. I have blue, white, and apricot-flowering ones in this bed, along with a few assorted foxgloves. A hellebore is just slightly visible to the extreme right. The box has some elephant ear bulbs, just starting to come up. It will be surrounded by caladiums in a few more days. The tree behind the box is an oak. Behind the bed is the ubiquitous English ivy that I am working very hard to eliminate!
