Softness - a photo on Flickriver

Softness

            Last year, the Astilbe beds in Stanley Park had pink flowers, but this year they're all white.  Both are so beautiful - in the evening, when the sun's at just the right angle, the whole bed looks like an undersea bed of lacy floating plants.

These hardy herbaceous perennials are cultivated by gardeners for their large, handsome, often fern-like foliage and dense, feathery plumes of flowers. They are widely adapted to shade and water-logged conditions, hence they are particularly associated with pond-side planting. They also tolerate clay soils well.

 Numerous hybrid cultivars have been raised. Flowers of at least some Astilbe species have a strong and pleasant aroma. Some species, including Astilbe rivularis, are used in traditional medicine.
