Key Lime in the Garden

I wandered to the garden area at Meijers this morning and found this variety of Coral Bells - Key Lime. This plant has a few brown spots on lower leaves, but good new growth, so I put it next to the house on the west side. It gets afternoon sun and there are 2 other varieties of coral bells that have done well.

Now I can say I have lime green in my garden and in my quilts!!! I noticed that the bird-brained cardinals have a nest in the lilac bush. The do this every year - and rarely get babies - the crows and whatever seem to empty the nest before maturity. There is nothing in the nest at this moment.
Remember, I do have a cat that wanders around outside, too - why do they build a nest here????

The little garden area in the front is looking so lush.

Perenniels are coming up and the bird bath has been splashed in by the cardinals and finches. I can see that from one of the kitchen windows.

I do love spring and the many shades of green that it brings.
