More Rock Garden Surprises

I'm going to start right out with the big, big surprise. You might remember that I managed to dig up the pasqueflower that came up in the yard and move it back to the rock garden. Took me two years. I marked it in 2024, but then it died back and I couldn't find it, but I got it last year.

I had originally purchased three varieties of pasqueflower, Pulsatilla vulgaris: the common purple one, one called 'Papavera' which has a variety of colors, and 'Rubra' with red flowers. Well! The one I rescued from the yard is one of the two that isn't purple! I'm guessing 'Rubra,' but will see if all the flowers are red. Big smile from me, either way!

And the regular purple one is blooming now too.

Now back to more about the 'Gold Nugget' Sempervivum. Patch 2 is still really red. Picture from a different angle.

And the other patch (1) that wasn't red before is getting a deeper color.

And here is the status of the space that I was really hoping would come back after winter. This is the 'Black' Sempervivum with the Lewisia at 4 and 9 o'clock. All alive! I was pretty confident of the Sempervivum, but I've killed Lewisia before, so that was a concern.

I edited, I worked on all my projects (although not enough on the taxes), I cleaned up the yard a little, blah, blah

In disappointing news, I could be the owner of the 'Topaz Jazz' Heuchera. For $30. That's not going to happen Ha! I need to be saving to finish my dental work.
