storm,
I lost every variegated Jacobs Ladder I planted too, and I replanted 3 times, until I tried the Stairway to Heaven.
It sounds like you planted many wonderful plants this year. Of all the Siberian Iris I've seen the white is the most elegant. I also find that true of the white non native bleeding heart. Neither appear to be as aggressive as the pink bleeding heart or the purple iris, I tend to ruthlessly cull those two.
I must be the only one who can't grow shooting stars, I've tried those in 3 different spots and lost them all.

Nice combinations Weerobin.

ge, Nice start on your gardens. It is always fun to see new gardens develop.

This is an interesting early season combination, I like the way the red tulip brings out the red from the underside of the Heuchera Caramel and the green and white tulip echoes the white in the foamflower with the blue hosta as a neutral bridge color.
