By the end of May, the creeping phlox has almost stopped blooming but the soapwort is in full bloom. *

Most unexpectedly, our small white Pulsatilla, planted in early May 2006, tossed out one final bloom a month later! *

Solomon's Seal is also in full bloom. *

A new variety of campanula added in 2006 - Campanula Glomerata. We also have blue and pink varieties of C. Persicifolia. *

The first Trollius to bloom. We also have an orange variety. *

In our garden are many hostas, propagated by dividing a half-dozen original plants. *

The hostas form an attractive border around much of the perimeter beds. *

The shoots emerge in early May and, within a month, develop to the stage you see in these images. *

We have lost count of the many root divisions we have made to share our hostas with friends. *
