I appreciate not only the near perfect color match of the flowers to the foliage above them, but also the ground cover echoing the silvery green of the shrub above.
I am very fond of the Spring-flowering colchicums, but unfortunately slugs are also, and those greedy gastropods and I have a race for who can see the flower-buds first. If I win I go out after dark with an acetylene lamp and a hatpin and spear the little army of slugs making for a tea party at the sign of the Colchicum.
