Mertensia

I planted this last year and it flowered the first year. Here it is again and I am hoping it will spread.
In the extras is a poor photograph, just for the record, of the first bee I have seen this year and also a little daffodil that I like and which makes very nice clumps.

A dull start but the day has improved and is quite warm. It is very humid and the concrete floor in the metal barn is sweating.
Television all fixed.
