Bergenia

They are lovely, such a strong plant..

yes, always a reliable plant, and one of the first to flower in my garden.

Thanks, Homebird. This bergenia does well every year. Think I must have put it in a spot it likes! I have another one (a deeper pink, and dark leaves), but it is not a great performer. (I keep it, because when it reluctantly throws up a flower, I am hooked!)
