Yes Maggi you are right, it grows very well in our garden and we love it.

I'm not surprised you like the viola, Rudi, it is very lovely.

I showed the photo to a friend today who loves violas... she had never seen it and was most impressed with both the shape and colour of the flowers and the foliage. 8)

Rudi,

Those yellow Daphnes are great.  Such good colour.

So it is supposed to have 4 petals, or is this just an aberration this year?  I love it!

I'm hoping this character to be stable but not sure ::)

Asarum minamitanianum 'Ryoku-ho'

This is an albino form found and collected at its natural habitat. I didn't expect its flower this season so the plant in a cheap plastic pot :-[

Beautiful, Tatsuo.  Very nice proportions to the flower, and good clean colour (or lack thereof).  Nice!! 8)
