Thanks, Mike; your's too.
Good luck with the bindweed.
Fortunately only had it in one of my gardens; dug it out there each year, but never succeeded in its elimination. Customer eventually moved.
Mike, I really like your blue hyacinths: the colour seems to go so well with so many spring flower colours And the hyacinths have the added advantage of being poisonous (viz. critter proof).

The single bloodroot seems to run along the edges of the bed. Closes on dark days.
Was digging up and replanting dwarf irises here to eliminate the dandelions.

double bloodroot
I've almost had it with smaller hellebore plants whose flowers won't face the camera (viz. nodders).
'North Star'
For me, if there's a whole lot of plant and a big block of colour, that's OK.
This was mislabelled (maybe a reversion).
Loved this little lavender double primrose at Merlin's Hollow. Thought it was all gone by the time I got there. Know this is the kind of humble, though tough, little survivor which David himself would have favoured. Gardens do die with their gardener. But hopefully ones favourite old cultivars can live on, still loved, in the gardens of others.
The lungworts haven't really started flowering yet. It's quite a challenge to keep lungwort cultivars separate. They are hybridized so easily by the bumblebees. I usually pull all the new seedlings out, but missed this light blue flowering one. The blue may have come from the vintage cultivar, 'Regal Ruffles', close by.
