I went to the local garden centre with A Plan (for a change) and actually stuck to it (I think there must be something wrong!). I came back home, unloaded the car, and..... got distracted. That was well over two weeks ago. One of these days, hopefully soon, I'll get back on track with The Plan.
In the meantime, various spring and early-summer perennials have bloomed and gone to seed, and now I look out over the garden and think "The trollius is blooming already???? My, how time flies!".
While I was wandering through the garden areas around the house, wondering how the garden had advanced so much without my noticing how time was passing, my eye caught on a few splashes of magenta and white where a colour other than green was definitely not expected. I wonder what these pretty flowers are and, more importantly, where they came from? Hopefully, they'll become a regular fixture in the garden.

Dianthus or sweet william. A very pretty, reasonably hardy perennial. But you didn't spell out what your plan was...
Granny J: Good point -- I totally missed detailing The Plan, possibly because it wasn't really all so grand. There were a few empty spots in the wilderness which I felt ought to be filled so I picked up a couple of new perennials, including a non-invasive bamboo (Montreal...Bamboo -- a totally obvious association, no?) The cedar mulch in a few areas was also getting rather bare and hence needed replenishing. And, finally, to ensure season-long colour, some annuals were going to be planted in the remaining little undervegetated spaces. The Plan would have been the acquisition of the plants and mulch and their timely deployment. Guess I missed out on that "timely" part.
