Some of our columbines have sent up their flower spikes, but they aren't even near open yet. Is the 'Sea Breeze' the white, almost daisy-like flower? I love Tiarella, definitely an underused plant. I first encountered it in Montreal's Botanical Garden, which has a beautiful carpet of the straight species Tiarella under some white birches, really elegant. <em>Acair Fearann, Yes, the 'Sea Breeze is the daisy-ish flower and in person it's the palest of silvery-pinks. Really pretty. And you're so right about the elegance of tiarella! -kris</em> Very nice, interesting to see how RI is about a week/week and a half farther along than NW Connecticut.
