Your garden is a bit ahead of my garden, I have no tulips or lilacs as of yet. I have red and yellow tulips and daffodils in the front garden. It is a great classic color combination isn't it?

Tulips don't do well with our summer heat and repeat poorly, so we have to treat them as expensive annuals. Sometimes I buy a few.

I spotted your 'Snow Angel' heucheras near the bleeding heart and hyacinth - LOVE those. I took a few divisions from my mom's garden in SW WI a couple of years ago. They are so pretty, both the foliage and the bloom spikes. I think I've become a heuchera junkie - just can't have enough of them. ;O I love your lamium too. The bright blooms are such a nice contrast with the foliage.
