Ground Cover

Top: Foreground - forget-me-not, Jacob's ladder (variegated cream flower form). Background - various peonies, with aquilegias in-filling

 Middle: carpet of heucheras amid violets (with a stray pulmonaria)

 Bottom: as daffodils go over, spiraea japonica 'Goldflame' takes the stage, with more peonies. Alas, with ground elder and bindweed also.
