Herbaceous perennials I grow.
Busy spring. Time to get some pix that have been sitting in the camera or the jump drive for a few weeks. This pulmonaria’s foliage is butt-ugly. But it’s got the nicest flowers of any I’ve grown. Especially good with the muscari that have jumped in.

Another evening. Another try to to get this shot right.
Some shots from Friday. Nice to still be able to shoot some pix after work.
