Typ, what are people saying are the advantages/disadvantages of both? Don't think I'll join a whole thread about it, but would love to hear a very brief summary.

Roll call this morning: discovered that the Solomon's Seal had bloomed and I didn't even know about it, since it's a bit hidden!

1) Solomon's Seal with blooms already fading a bit
2) Did someone say they want SPIDERWORT?? I can't get rid of it. I wouldn't mind one plant of it, but it keeps trying to take over this one gardening bed.
3) L sempervirens, although I cannot take credit (or blame) for its blooms since it is a recent purchase... ;-)
4) Purchases from earlier this spring: NG Imp, Lobelia erinus, and Nemesia fruticans 'Opal Innocence' (one of my favorite recent purchases-- the shades of color on the blossoms are so interesting)
5) My 'Peach Flambe' heuchera blooming now. I really like this cultivar as well, although I don't see it around much.

hmmm. Colors don't look as bright in these photos as they do in real life--esp for the Peach Flambe.
