Gorgeous, Jackie! Love all three!
Rose, your hellebore has beautiful markings. Is that a seedling?

My first coneflower of the season. This is year three for most of my echinaceas and they are finally outgrowing the puny plant stage.

@LorettaNJ

I received this hellebores in a hosta secret swap several years ago, so I have no idea what the name is. It finally started showing it's beauty just last year. I almost threw it out to make room for better looking plants! I'm glad I kept it, and found the perfect spot for it to grow!

Loretta I love that bloodroot. I've only got the single flowers.

Rose - nice little yellow flower. They say they are good for the bees but I never see them on it. I also have that purple vinca. It's so pretty in bloom but it takes over. I am torn between keeping or not keeping because it has smothered other things.
Ginny, I got that bloodroot from a swap. There used to be a poster on GW named Steve who hosted one every year and he gave out these bulbs and they have survived many years. I even transplanted it once.
Rose, it is always the plants that you threatened with extinction that perform the best that year.
Bkrell, that coneflower has a beautiful color. I'm not sure my colorful coneflowers did well this year at all. So far it is not looking good.
