I was out doing 'plant rescue' (trying to rescue neglected plants from the relentless onslaughts of mother nature). I ran across an epimedium rhizomatosum which was being overwhelmed by all manor of weeds.
I rescued him and put a safe zone of mulch around him, of course.
To my surprise, he is just starting to bloom!
A couple fully open blooms and myriads of tiny buds in a tangle of bloom stalks getting ready to bloom.
Last time I checked, it's July... Crazy!
And just to demonstrate how long I've had this neglected plant,
it came from long-lost Heronswood nursery...
