I echo Gene's praise of Indian Pink. It took it 3 years to get going in my
garden, but now--WOW! I hope it is going to be easily divisable, because
every gardener who sees my plant wants some. Or maybe I should just tell
them to order from Munchkin....<G>
Another color combo that is striking now, at the new garden across the
walk from the aforementioned pyrethrum--because these are in shade they
are just now blooming: DARK violet columbines paired with orange Oriental
Poppies. The orange poppies have a deep violet center, and they coordinate
beautifully.

Lots of good stuff in bloom here now, but the one that gets my eye the
most now is "Wormroot/ Indian Pink" or Spigelia. Great foliage on stiffly
upright stems, blooms of fire-engine red shaped like inflated tubes with a
fuchsia star sitting on top of the tube. Now that is color... and a native
to boot.
