New pot - vine maple seedling from my mom with two sedums

my little rock/sedum garden, with Motherwort herb on the left, some tiny invasive but cute spurge in front of the rocks, and two oreganos in the foreground

A few spring pics, post-hailstorm

Euphorbia polychroma

Heuchera "Green Spice" and hail

forget-me-not, daylily on right, heuchera in back, and a volunteer rose campion seedling

Heuchera "Lime Rickey" lonely in a pot, but so bright my lens could hardly capture it

I love how the orange potentilla has woven itself around the blue lupine. that's golden sage in the foreground, and the bricks and stepping stones are in my neighbor's yard.

looking out my front door. the huge thing with white flowers is an herb...valerian, I think. there's a lily on the right just about to bloom, and the rose campion in front of the maple has one or two blossoms open, which will soon become a sea of bright pink.
