I had catnip until the cats decided to love it too much. The bee-balm is called horse mint here, but has only just started sprouting. The Erythroniums are called dog's teeth. We've got a butterfly bush too. There's probably more but I can't think of them. Too early.

But of course. Dogwood, tiger lilies and hens'n'chicks. And lion's tooth - dandelion.  The oxalis are called cuckoo sourgrass, so that's one I guess. Fritillaria, that's lapwing eggs. Cow bells are cow bells in Norwegian too.

It grows wild around here Barb - could be a garden escape though I suppose.
