Wow, I missed some action!
Here are some shots from my place this past weekend.
First is a strange perennial Phyteuma scheuchzeri - it\'s related to campanula.
Close up of the flowers show a fascinating structure.
I\'ve been nurturing a cypripedium for several years.
It\'s still a small plant and puts out a single bloom each year,
but it refuses to grow. Ah, well.
Delosperma don\'t do well for me either - usually not quite hardy enough,
or maybe they can\'t deal with our humidity.
This is a small plant which has survived a year, so I\'m cautiously optimistic.
Finally I\'ve always been fond of anemonella thalictroides
(now Thalictrum thalictroides, I guess).
It\'s a woodland ephemeral blooming in early spring.
But this guy has been blooming nonstop since march.
Still looking good last weekend.
