columbine and Solomon's seal

Must be time for Garden Week in Virginia, because our native columbine is blooming. Other things may lag or bloom prematurely, but it seems to me this red columbine is always blooming during the last two weekes of April. The other wonderful spring material in this arrangements is variegated Japanese Solomon's seal. This year it didn't even start poking out of the ground until around the first of April, but it came on really fast and now has the beautiful dangling white flowers and graceful leafscapes it's famous for.
