The astrantia in my garden is blooming. At least the deer and vermin leave it alone... I love the way the veining shows up when the buds first open up. They almost look like paper flowers.
The pink variety is just as pretty.
I saw this beauty at the nursery. It sobbed to come home with me, but I knew the deer or elk would eat it in a heartbeat, so resisted all its blandishments and contented myself with some photos. But oh, I was tempted!! The colors and the the sheer lushness of the petals...
The way the light fell on these osteospermum just made me happy--it was like all the light was being gathered into the centers, and then being beamed back out again.
