Also pleasantly surprised to find a couple plants that I thought I'd lost have not only come back but come back in strength, especially the Geranium psilostemon, which is another supposedly common variety that I havent been able to find for a bit. Snagged one last year and thought I'd lost it in summer's heat. It forms a mound three or four feet high, and in summer it's smothered with one to two inch magenta flowers with a black center. A couple Eryngiums I also thought I'd lost came back, which pleases me to no end because I kind of collect the weird little buggers, with their spiky, steel-blue flowers.
It's going to be an amazing June. I expect to be taking a lot of pictures, especially since I've finally figured out the macro function on the G10. As with the rest of the camera, it's brilliant. The shot above is Lady's Mantle, which has a web of fine hairs on the leaves that cause rain to puddle up like sequins. A superb, simple plant with clusters of acid yellow flowers in summer.
