My friend Shaunna, who is a professional photographer, stopped by tody to take some garden photos in our garden. I really liked this one: Posted Image |

Love the rain/water drops on the blooms. What is the name of the brunnera? I thought there were forget-me-nots. |

Thanx, Brunnera is the perennial forget me not. I actually purchased two cultivars: the tiny blue flowers you see in this photo with green leafs and the same tiny blue flowers but on a plant with variegated leaves that look almost like black and white stained glass, but over the last 6 years, they married and all the offspring are green leafed. |

Lovely picture of your beautiful flowers BJ. It is now adorning my desktop, and will hopefully make me forget the white stuff that is presently falling here. Take care, Pat |

BJ: Van Dusen Botanical Garden in Vancouver had many beds of brunnera. I was taken by "Jack Frost" Brunnera - blue blooms on silvery leaves with dark green veins? Posted Image |

I know it well, Erka. I planted it, but with the non variegated Brunnera and their offspring are all the ordinary kind :-( I wonder if Durgan or Dana or Kahu know: Do variegated plants revert to their non variegated "roots" after a number of years? |

BJ: The variegated Aegopodium podagraria (bishop's weed, goutweed) reverts back to solid after a while. This is one plant that should be banned (invasive, noxious) yet nurseries still sell these. |

I know. I grew it in Philadelphia, not knowing it's nature at first. Took me years to get rid of it! |
