I sent my Corydals x allenii pics in a previous reply and now I want to share 
one of my favorite simple pleasures - Lathyrus vernus 'Katrink's Blue', 
Spring Vetchling.

I had the purple species for several years and have always benn delighted 
with it. Then I ordered L.v. Rosea, to compliment it and she is vigorous.  
Then Darrell Probst, Garden Vision offered a very pricey blue variety and I 
just HAD to have it!  No critter had ever touched the other two so I did 
nothing to protect it and some bunny chewed it down to the nub the first 
spring after I'd planted it.  So I had to order another one.  Katrink has had 
a cage now for 2 yrs to protect her from marauders, and she looks so pretty 
and happy this spring.  I am so delighted!

Subject: Double bloodroot in my garden this spring

What showstoppers have you guys had in your gardens this year? 

This is my double bloodroot, Sanguinara canadensis forma multiplex, that I 
planted several years ago.  It responded really well to a an application of 
10-10-10 fertilizer last spring and doubled in size, spreading further into 
the path at the base of a large rock.  

The photograph just shows a portion of the patch.
