Now I remember Streptocarpella! It's a nice plant. My sister says the plant I'm thinking of is called "April Showers," a rather useless name. I'll ask my other sister for more info.

Another ID request. Got this at one of our swaps, no writing on pot or label, lots of roots. Any ideas what it could be?

Hard to tell by judging the material shown, but the foliage in the upper right of the middle photo, and the plant morphology suggest Kenilworth Ivy, Cymbalaria muralis.

Aspen, I had Streptocarpella confused with Duranta aka Golden Dewdrop. Lots of thorns on Duranta.

Our cute Brunnera macrophylla is blooming. I love those small blue flowers.

I think I'll try my hand at a pot of succulents- google 'succulents in broekn clay pot' images, and have a look.
Plant it and they will come.

Sure signs that spring has arrived is the appearance of Epimedium flowers and the color bursts on the neighbors trees!

New blooms on something Gita shared seeds for. She called it red campion. Does seem to be in the campion clan. Anyone recognize this?
Plant it and they will come.

Flowers are consistent with Campion/Silene genus. Most members have narrower leaves, so that should narrow it down.

Maybe- Silene dioica?

Our tree peony has flowered up. It's the best year yet for it.

My peonies are loaded with tiny buds. Other than the one I got from Terri (it has 9 buds on it), the others are young plants, first year of blooming, so I don't expect the blooms to be great but fingers crossed for a great show!

I am glad you posted this as I forgot I had one. My friend 'yanked' one out of his garden last year and gave it me. I planted it and forgot about it. My lilacs hung too far over it for me to see. I read your post and went searching, lo-n-behold the gifted plant yields some impressive flowers.
