Lovely!

It has been a very good year for flumewort , it is popping up everywhere.

That is one I've never heard of! Love it!

Your plants look full and tall.

I never herd of it either , but it looks like one to find.

My shade garden is now part sun.We removed a sick scotspine.

Looks like you have a lot of things starting to come up.

Thats right.It changes every day

Red polyanthus primrose has a flower open & a few more stems showing. Lack of water this winter will slow it down.

Jo Ann ,
It will be interesting to see how the additional sun will effect the garden
Will you be planting additional sun plants , or just wait and see?

As for the flumewort it acts more like a self seeding annual than a true perennial here. Just coming up here and there at will , I do love the exotic looking bloom, and the color is great in the spring, it seems to disappear in the summer.

I am waiting to see who likes the sun.This garden was full of sun lovers that bloomed beautifully.Maybe they were getting just enough.
Here is some shots from this morning.The clay column with a birdbath on it is where the tree came down.The Bear is on the stump of the first scots pine that died.

What a nice slideshow, Jo Ann! Things are looking great!

Loved the slideshow Jo Ann.

A friend gave me some plants and I just put in this bed.


Had one left over so I plunked it in a pot with some white datura that has reseeded.

Susan you're so far along. Fantastic. What's the plant between the bench and tree against the fence?

Lenton Rose/Hellebores which was a passalong so I'm not sure which one...unfortunately we are getting temps in the 30's and 40's over night for the next couple of weeks winter is back.
