Look at all the beautiful colors in this heuchera! I noticed it when I walked by it this evening. What a beautiful plant! I esp. like the bright red of the new leaves, but it's the lighter colored leaves that makes them stand out.
The little green leaves are plumbago (leadwort), another nice groundcover. They turn bronzey-red in the fall, and bloom the most incredible electric blue (another blue I won't be able to capture on camera). Something I got on Henry Mitchell's recommendation and have so far not been disappointed. It was a bit slow to spread, but there's nothing wrong with that.

What a lovely little plant. I am envious of your green thumb. The garden photos are a delight.

Joann! Thank you. :)
The great garden writer (and one of my very favorite authors in any genre) Henry Mitchell said, "There are no green thumbs or black thumbs. There are only gardeners and non-gardeners. Gardeners are the ones who ruin after ruin get on with the high defiance of nature herself, creating, in the very face of her chaos and tornado, the bower of roses and the pride of irises. It sounds very well to garden in a 'natural way.' You may see the natural way in any desert, any swamp, any leech-filled laurel hell. Defiance, on the other hand, is what makes gardeners."
Hugs to Yuri and Amber!
