Day 2 of the September Daily Painting Challange is the Lenten Rose. I love these early bloomers. I have several planted in my shade garden and this years crop was amazing. They usually start blooming in February in our part of the country and heralds the coming of spring. I have the beautiful greenish and also a lovely soft purple variety. I highly recommend them if you have shade. They are a stunning addition especially among hosta, astilbe, hydrangeas and ferns.
