Thanks for taking me along. :-) I do know that the plant is called Bergenia Cordifolia or folk's name Elephant's ears. We have some in our front garden which is worse for wear after the previous owners did not do anything in the garden for 16 years. We found it half hidden and replanted it in a little different spot. They did nothing last year and are starting to perk up a little this year. <br /><br />Hugs from Holland ~<br />HeidiHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060822757546401667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-49515170184512011382012-03-22T16:51:16.512+00:002012-03-22T16:51:16.512+00:00Stunning gardens Rosie.

We still haven't visited that geological gallery after saying we would when you mentioned it last year. <br /><br />My favourite bit of the whole garden is the path with all the old tree roots!
