cmoneyspinner, Can you imagine the difficulty which I encountered in selecting one photo to display for this article on my profile page?!
Oh! Oh! I like the Bergenia 'Silberlicht!
No! No! The blue cowslip!
No! No! Um … lamb's ears?
Wait a minute. The peach-leaved bellflower.
That's my final answer.
No it's not. Forget it! I'll take 'em all!!
I agree with you perennials brighten landscapes and enchant. Any one of them can work that kind of magic. Love this Wizzle!!
