I have so many things which just come up on their own.
They make great inadvertent combinations.
The first is a dwarf species quince, chaenomeles japonica var alpine Pygmaea.
It's a refreshing bright red quince which naturally stays low to the ground.
Some muscari somehow migrated to the area creating a nice contrast (#1).
#2 is a random mix of volunteer woodland flowers. I didn't plant any of them.
Includes hellebore, trillium, stylophorum, mertensia. Really pretty accidental combo's.
#3 mertensia, hellebore, stylophorum.

This last one is an epimedium which I got from Garden Vision epimediums.
They have the most extensive selection of bizarre epimedium.
This one at first looked like e. fargesii or e. dolichostemon.
But to my surprise it's e. qingchengshanense. Wow!
