Some more 'rock garden' bloomers recently ...

#1 Thymus zeravshanicus
#2 Dianthus NOID - I haven't given up finding the ID tag
#3 Hypericum kazdaghense. A tiny St John's wort with many yellow flowers
#4 Scabiosa japonica Ritz Blue
#5 Veronica spicata Nana - A tiny perennial with typical spike-like flowers.
#6 Dracocephalum argunense Fuji White (an unusual white cultivar, usually blue).
#7 Lysimachia congestiflora Persion Chocolate. Great contrast between the bright yellow flowers and the super dark foliage.
#8 Sempervivum NOID - from Home Depot - looking great. I haven't had much luck with sempervivum in the past, but so far, so good...

That's really early bloom for a hypericum. Did you just get it this year? Really nice stuff!

Blooming cycles are crazy this year at my place. My Hesperantha coccinea 'Oregon Sunset' is blooming for the last 2 weeks. The hardy gladiolas are also blooming.

This has been blooming since the first week of January, and keeps producing more buds.

This one started blooming last month, and going strong.

I love those Lynn
I tried them and they did well for a few years, but last year they were pretty wimpy and seemed to be fading out...wondering if they are even going to show up at all this year

Mine have been going since 2019, and just seem to get bigger. Might be because they have been moved/divided so much? I just dug out some more of them a couple of days ago, and potted them up.

Maybe they like dividing in order to stay "fresh" and vigorous?

Today's "honorable mention" group in my rock garden bed. Dafs are sprouting up, and boy are those new spring sprigs of phedimus sichotense vibrant green!! Baby orostachys waking up in background.

Just realized, the photo framing on this one is REALLY bad. Sorry!!!
