Every spring I am happy to see these flowers show up in my front shade bed. Brunnera 'Jack Frost', a variegated version of Siberian bugloss, is a terrific plant for growing beneath a deciduous tree. It leafs out early in Spring and promptly sends up intense blue forget-me-not style flowers. The flowers don't last long, but the almost metallic foliage brightens up the shady areas that it prefers. Leaves are sandpaper-rough and deter slugs and snails.

"The Artist's Garden in Giverny," Claude Monet, 1900.

You all know Monet. This is a perfect painting for today; where I am, irises are starting to come out, and I always loved the smell of them. Monet loved his garden and loved painting it, as you can see.

Happy Flower Friday!

Hey #hedgehog fans - I need advice!

We have a hog cafe that's an upturned plastic box. This has been ok as a stop gap, but is now getting brittle. It is also not easy to spy through...

In addition, naughty cats often try to get in if we don't put a big stone over the (increasingly brittle) doorway.

What do you have as a hog cafe set up? I am thinking a rabbit hutch or similar with a hog friendly, slightly covered, entrance.

Any ideas or DIY plans would be great! (Reshare rewarded with loving vibes in your direction)
