My dasyanthera penstemon are just starting to bud.

Valeriana arizonica is at its peak...tiny blooms but great fragrance.  My Cortusa sacchalinensis is just opening...at least that what the seeds were labeled as...looks like C. matthioli to me!

Todd, the Cortusa is a stunner... whether it is matthioli or sachalinensis, whatever it is, the leaves and flower presentation are delightful.

I have also tried different Cortusa species and found them all to be very similar to matthioli if not the same (wrong labels or just subtle differences?)
That Valeriana arizonica looks interesting! The valerians I am acquainted with are totally different! (V. officinalis and lookalikes).
