Variegated Sweet Flag
I'm guessing on the name...it's similar to what I'm guessing is Golden Variegated Sweet Flag in the waterfall garden...a very lovely clump of grass, though really scraggly looking it's first summer...

Rock Penstemon
Isn't it pretty? It's the first year it's bloomed for me. I'm thinking of placing it against a backdrop of lavender, as the space behind it is pretty bare after my bleeding heart is finished blooming.
