Kassia, that rose Variegata di Bologna is something else.

venu209, what a nice planting for the garbage guys. I'll bet they appreciate it.

I took a few long shots today. More colors is starting to appear in what was a mostly purple phase along the south walk. The yellow Genista lydia Bangle that I planted last year came through the winter and is blooming that bright blast of yellow. The big mass of rugosa hasn't really kicked in yet, only a few blooms so far and almost all are the white ones. The hosta have loved all the rain. I especially like the white giant allium in front of the plumes of Persicaria polymorpha which has proved to be perfectly well behaved. The allium 'Globmaster has been amazing and my Ornithogalum magnum has been a nice surprise as I didn't expect it to be so grand. Patti
