other plants in the yard

my panicled hydrangeas are so lush with new foliage they seem to glow against the dark mulch and the neighbor's red fence

Tiny blue flowers seem to float above the heartleaf brunnera

Although this plant is much smaller than the other columbine which blooms pink, it flowered first

I am so pleased at how lush and full my echinacea have come up this year-

Most of those in the row are thicker in foliage and twice in height

And there are tons of seedlings!

So many I will have no problem digging some to move into other areas of the yard. Scattering the seed was so successful I might just do that with the remnants of my packet in the fridge.

The rudbeckia is doing great too. It's going to be a bright spot this year.
