More bloomers


The top pic shows Bergenia cordifolia, an excellent groundcover for the shady border or rock garden with glossy, leathery leaves which are dark green in the summer and deep wine-red in the fall and winter, and small clusters of magenta flowers in the early spring. This is a young plant which I planted last year. The bottom pic shows Aquilegia 'Winky Blue & White', a nice garden hybrid columbine. They usually bloom starting in the end of May and into June and even July here; I bought this plant early and so it is blooming early.
