Around the yard . . .

This is the first new bug that I've seen this year. This calla lily was a gift and is the newest addition to the back garden.
This is up close and personal with the a coral bell leaf.

Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?

This is one of our garden gnomes. 

We have lots of bleeding hearts (dicentra spectabills) in our yard.  Every few years I dig them up, divide them and start more plantings.  My neighbor admired them so much that I gave her several plants for her yard.
These are coral bells (heuchera micrantha).   I also divide these and plant them here and there.
This is a lily of the valley (convallaria majalis).  Over the years, I have not had much luck with them.  Finally I have a few plants that are starting to survive.
Hosta is another plant that thrives in our yard.  I have to divide these every few years, too.
