Sounds good!
I'm growing white flowered variegated honesty for the first time and it is in full flower - this is a stunning plant, 3 feet tall, with white edges to all the leaves. It is under my knarled apple tree which is just coming into blossom and I have a blue clematis alpina growing up into the tree too, covered in flowers. In front I have a geum - a sort of pinky terracotta colour, very soft. I also have various pulmonarias in the bed around which are just slowing down flowers after flowering much of the winter here.
Most plants have now recovered from our snow - over a foot just a month ago!
