    Putting the purple foliage next to your bright yellow daffodils is a brilliant idea! Your garden is very, very lovely. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you, Eileen. All the tulips I have are Lily-shaped they seem to be losing their shape. :shrug: The white one is always a little later than the others.

    Ha Ha Sjoerd, now you know my favorite spring color! I do have purple grape Hyacinths also so it's not all pink.

    Marling, That actually was an accident. I planted the black lace elderberry after the tulips foliage had died back. It's a wonder that I didn't dig them up or put the shrub on top of them!

    Toni, it is a Saxifrage. It's for part shade and a spring bloomer but the foliage is pretty with a moss look to it the rest of the summer. It's hardy from zone 4 to zone 7.

    Beautiful Images, many thanks for sharing!

    I made four new plants from my pink Saxifragas but as will happen they are never (any plants usually ) true to the mother color, mine turned out white........:smt043

    I bought two plants which were an offer last year of Bleeding Heart (one pink and one white), yours is a beauty.
